GE-4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bareCain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. GE-4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. GE-4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. GE-4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: GE-4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. GE-4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? GE-4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. GE-4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. GE-4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper? GE-4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. GE-4:11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; GE-4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. GE-4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear. GE-4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me. GE-4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. GE-4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. GE-4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. GE-4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. GE-4:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. GE-4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle. GE-4:21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. GE-4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah. GE-4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. GE-4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. GE-4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. GE-4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
