In the Time before the flood. Some Men would make a pilgrimage to an Altar that was built outside the Gates of the Garden and make a Sacrifice to Yahweh. This is a passage is from the book regarding such a pilgrimage

"When night came on, and the journey drew to a close the river became narrower and tall trees, arching over our heads, made the way solemn and gloomy. We grew depressed and conversation died.
As the red sun, like a subdued fire, sank out of sight behind the great forest, we approached a rock which rose in the middle of the river. "Here," said my father, "our journey terminates. Upon this rock, which parts the stream as it issued out of the Garden, once stood the vigilant angelic guard with sword of flame. Alas! the way of access to the Tree of Life was completely closed to a wicked world; but man will yet eat of its life giving leaves in the Garden of Yaweh which is to be restored in the distant future, when His time shall have come.
A vast expanse lay stretched before us, bounded by mountains, rosy and purple in the morning light. Born in these far off heights, fed by springs and hills, four great rivers, widening as they advanced, rolled thru a broad extended plain.Here were calm lakes and valleys, and the verdure of meadow and grove. But no flocks reposed upon grassy banks, nor cattle browsed
savannas, nor lion lifted his voice in the dark glen. No harvester reaped the nodding corn, or loaded with the rank
purple grapes the creaking wain.
The crimson apples lay in heaps, the nuts dropped noiselessly on the sod, the empty stubble rustled in the wind, the untouched orange and fig, decaying on the ground, went back into the parent stem to bloom again and again in vernal beauty. Sound there was none, but sighing of the winds as they swept mournfully across the lonely Eden; no motion save that of light and shadow flitting over tenantless plains. Silence and solitude forever brooded there.
A belt of funeral yews, under-grown with a thicket of brush-thorns,
hedged in this land of supernal but desolate beauty. Directly in front of the Warder’s Rock was a narrow opening bounded by two ancient yews of magnificent proportions between these trees had sprung up a gigantic vine,
whose wide-spread branches, twined and interwoven, made a vast impenetrable screen closing the gate-way of the Garden. The tangles of this deadly vine had formed themselves into spectral characters,which, facing outward, perennially renewed the inscription Through a mist of tears the last look of mortal eyes was now bestowed upon the forsaken beauty of the Lost Paradise.
