At the midpoint where Adam was buried, the “four corners come

together; for when God created the earth his power ran along in front of it,

and the earth ran after his power from four sides like winds and gentle

breezes, and there his power stopped and came to rest. And there will be

accomplished the redemption for Adam and all his children.” Over the

grave where the cross would stand there grew a tree, and there too was the

altar of Melchizedek. When Shem laid the body on the ground,

‘the four sides moved away from one another, the earth opened in

the form of a cross, and Shem and Melchizedek laid the body inside. And as soon

as they had done this, the four sides moved together again and covered the body

of our Father Adam, and the doors of the earth were closed. And the same spot

was named the Place of the Skull, because the head of all men was laid there,

and Golgotha, because it was round … and

Gabbatha, because all the nations were gathered in it.’

“There the power of God will appear, for the four corners of the

world have there become one,” say the Ethiopic Clementines. God said to

Adam: “I shall make thee God, but not now; only after the passing of a

great number of years.” The apocryphal “Life of Adam and Eve”

says that the east and north of paradise were given to Adam, but the west and

south to Eve. The Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer reveals that Adam was buried in the

double cave Machpelach, and that Eve, Abraham and , Isaac and ,

and Leah were buried there too. “Therefore the cave was named Kiriath

Arba’, the City of Four,

because four husbands and wives were buried there.”
