Adam lived for 930 years and fathered 30 sons and 30 daughters. When he was 930, he fell ill and called for all his children and grandchildren, saying, "Come and see me before I die." They all gathered at his dwelling, except for Cain, who wandered the Earth.

Seth, Adam's eldest and most beloved son, asked his father what was wrong. Adam replied, "I'm in great pain and sickness." His children were confused, as no one had died on Earth yet, except for Abel, whom Cain had killed.

Seth then asked if Adam was longing for the garden and its fruit. He offered to go to the gate, mourn and pray, hoping that God would send an angel to allow him to bring some fruit for Adam to eat and recover. Eve also wept and said, "My Lord Adam, let me take half of your illness, because it is my fault that this evil has come upon you."

Adam then instructed Seth and Eve to go to the garden, pray, and ask the angel for some of the oil of Mercy from the Tree of Life to anoint his body and ease his pain. So Eve and Seth set off towards the Garden. On their way, a wild beast attacked Seth, terrifying Eve, who cried out in fear and sorrow. She rebuked the beast for attacking the image of God, reminding it that God had subjected animals to humans.

The beast, speaking with a human voice, questioned why Eve ate the forbidden fruit and warned her not to accuse it. Seth then commanded the beast to be silent and not to touch the image of God, and the beast obeyed and fled. Seth and Eve continued to the garden and wept at the gate, pleading with God to send the oil of Mercy for Adam.

God sent Michael the Archangel, who told Seth that the oil could not be given now, but that in the future, one would come to anoint Adam with it. Adam would then rise and return to the garden with all his descendants, who would have new hearts to understand goodness, and God would dwell among them.

Michael instructed them to return to Adam, as his end was near, and to tell him these words. They returned to Adam and told him, and he lamented, asking Eve what she had done to bring death upon them. He called for their children and grandchildren and instructed Eve to tell them their story.

Eve recounted how Satan, through the serpent, deceived her and led to their expulsion from the garden. After Eve finished speaking, their children left. Eve then fell to the ground in prayer, asking God to receive her spirit when she died.

She prayed for a long time.

Eventually, the angel of mankind came to her and said, "Rise up, Eve, for your husband Adam is departing from this life to meet his Creator." Eve rose and looked up to the sky, where she saw a chariot of light drawn by four shining eagles, escorted by angels.

When the chariot arrived above Adam's resting place, it halted, and the angels bearing sensors surrounded it. They lit the sensors, and the rising incense smoke filled the sky. The angels bowed and worshiped, saying, "Holy One, have mercy, for he is your image and the work of your hands."

Eve also saw two great and fearful beings in the heavens and was afraid. She called upon Seth, saying, "Rise up, Seth, and come to see what no human eye has seen." Seth came to her, and she said, "Do you see the seven Heavens open, and your father Adam lying upon his face with the Holy Angels interceding for him? She asked who the two dark ones standing and praying for your father were.

Seth replied, "They are the Sun and the Moon, entreating the most high for my father Adam." Eve asked why their light was gone and why they appeared black. Seth explained that they cannot shine in the presence of the light of all things, so their light has departed.

As Seth spoke to his mother, the angels blew trumpets, fell on their faces, and cried out, "Blessed be the glory of the Lord over all his works, for he has had compassion on Adam, the work of his hands." Then one of the seraphim with six wings took Adam's soul to the lake of pure water on the north side of Eden and washed it before the face of God.

The most high commanded the seraphim to deliver the soul to Michael the Archangel to bear it into Paradise until the day of all things visitation. The holy Archangel entreated the most high regarding Adam's body, and God commanded all the angels to gather before him in their order, bearing sensors, trumpets, and vials full of fragrances.

The Lord of hosts ascended with great winds and cherubim, flying upon them, surrounded by the angels of heaven. They bore Adam's body into the garden, where all the trees bowed and released their sweet fragrances. The sight and the odors of paradise caused all of Adam's descendants and all on Earth to fall into a deep sleep, except for Seth.

As Adam's body lay in Paradise, God said, "Oh, Adam, why did you transgress my commandment? If you had kept it, those who persecute you would not have rejoiced against you. Nevertheless, I tell you that in the future, I will turn their joy into sorrow and your sorrow into joy."

The angels then brought shrouds of silk and fine linen. God commanded Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael to wrap Adam's body and anoint it with sweet fragrances. The Lord said, "Bring also the body of Abel, for since the day Cain killed him, his body had not been buried. Cain often tried to hide it, but the Earth would not accept it until the dust from which Adam was formed was returned to her." So Abel's body was brought, wrapped in grave clothes like Adam's, and both were buried in the place from which God took the dust when he first formed Adam.

The angels dug the grave and covered it. When this was done, God called to the body, saying, "Adam, Adam," and the body answered, "Here I Am, Lord." The Lord said, "I told you, 'Dust you are, and to dust you shall return.' Behold, I promise you that in the last days, I will raise you up again from the dust, you and all your descendants."

God ensured that Adam's tomb remained untouched for 6 days until the rib taken from him could be returned. After this, Eve woke up, feeling uneasy because she didn't know what had happened to Adam's body. She prayed, "Lord, as you created me from Adam's flesh, and I was with him in the garden and after we were expelled, we were never separated, please allow me to be buried with him, and let no one separate us."

On the seventh day after Adam's death, Eve continued her prayers. When she finished, she looked up to heaven, struck her chest, and said, "Lord God of all creation, receive my spirit." She then passed away, and angels immediately came and took her body and buried it next to Adam and Abel.
