Life of Adam and Eve 34

Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

Anderson critical edition of the Latin Vita Adae et Evae (Lechner-Schmidt text, Custis/Anderson/Layton translation, U. Virginia IATH); includes medieval Latin appendices 52–57. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1(34.1) Immediately, the Lord God grew angry with us and said to me: 'Because you have forsaken my mandate and have not kept my word which I entrusted to you, I will bring upon your body seventy afflictions. You will be racked with pains from the top of your head, eyes, and ears, to the bottom of your feet, and in every single member.' This he counted as punishment fitting in suffering [to the seriousness of our transgression] concerning the trees (of suffering for the transgression of the fruit of the tree?)

2(34.2) The Lord sent all these ills upon me and all our generations."
