Genesis  


4 : 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD."
4 : 2 Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
4 : 3 So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground.
4 : 4 Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering;
4 : 5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.
4 : 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
4 : 7 If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.
4 : 8 Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
4 : 9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother`s keeper?"
4 : 10 He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother`s blood is crying to Me from the ground.
4 : 11 Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother`s blood from your hand.
4 : 12 When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.
4 : 13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is too great to bear!
4 : 14 Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.
4 : 15 So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold " And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.
4 : 16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
4 : 17 Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.
4 : 18 Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
4 : 19 Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.
4 : 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
4 : 21 His brother`s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.
4 : 22 As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
4 : 23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Give heed to my speech, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me;
4 : 24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
4 : 25 Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."
4 : 26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
