... The first man was driven out of the Garden and settled on Mount Moriah, because the gates of the Garden of Eden are close by Mount Moriah. From there He took him and to there He returned him to the place from which he was taken, as it says “Now the Lord God took the man…” (Bereshit 2:15) From where did He take him? From the place of the Holy Temple, and he settled outside of the Garden of Eden on Mount Moriah, as it says “…to till the soil, whence he had been taken.” (Bereshit 3:23)…
"It is good to give thanks to God," as said by Adam, the first man. So that all generations will learn that anyone who confesses his sins and abandons them is saved from the hellish state, as it is said, "It is good to give thanks to God." To say in the morning, "Your kindness extends to all who exist in the next world, that they are similar to the morning, and your faith extends to all who exist in this world, that they are similar to the night." They will say and proclaim, "His faith and kindness saved me from the hellish state, on me for a decade." All testimonies are given with ten people: the harp that David played was played with ten, testimony of a dead person is given with ten, circumcision is done with ten, the blessing of God's name is given with ten, and the testimony of the redemption of a property is given with ten, as it is said, "And Boaz took ten men." The Holy One, Blessed be He, said, "I do not want a song with a harp from Israel, but rather the meditation of their lips," as it is said, "My meditation on Him shall be sweet." Rabbi Hezekiah, the son of Rabbi Jeremiah, said, "There was an incident with one of the disciples of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai who went to Hadakai and returned rich. When he came to Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai, the students saw his wealth and envied themselves. What did Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai do? He went with them to a certain valley and said, "Valley, valley, fill with gold coins," and it was filled. Immediately, he said to his students, "Each and every one of you may take as much as you want, but know that whoever takes from his share of the reward of the world to come, takes away." Once they heard this, they withdrew their hands and began to say, "My happiness is in your deeds, O Lord." A person should say, "May the Lord make me happy and bring me into the Garden of Eden, and show me the place of the righteous in the Garden of Eden, and show me the four kingdoms that are ruled and lost, and show me the son of Jesse who will rule in the future, and I will add seventy years to my life, as it says, "May He add days upon days."
