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.
