GE-4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Cain,
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.
