'And God was wroth with us, and the Lord came into paradise and called me in a terrible voice and said: "Adam, where art thou And why hidest thou from my face Shall the house be able to hide itself from its builder" And he saith to me: "Since thou hast abandoned my covenant, I have brought upon thy body seventy-two strokes; the trouble of the first stroke is a pain of the eyes, the second stroke an affection of the hearing, and likewise in turn all the strokes shall befall thee."'
