Genesis 4
1. And Adam knew * Eve his wife; and she conceived * , and bare * Cain, and said * , I have gotten * a man from the LORD.
2. And she again * bare * his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper * of sheep, but Cain was a tiller * of the ground.
3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought * of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
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:
5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect * . And Cain was very wroth * , and his countenance fell * .
6. And the LORD said * unto Cain,Why art thou wroth * ? and why is thy countenance fallen * ?
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.
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 * .
9. And the LORD said * unto Cain,Where is Abel thy brother? And he said * , I know * not: Am I my brother's keeper * ?
10. And he said * , What hast thou done * ? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth * unto me from the ground.
11. And now art thou cursed * from the earth, which hath opened * her mouth to receive * thy brother's blood from thy hand;
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.
13. And Cain said * unto the LORD,My punishment is greater than I can bear * .
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 * .
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.
16. And Cain went out * from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt * in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
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.
18. And unto Enoch was born * Irad:and Irad begat * Mehujael: and Mehujael begat * Methusael: and Methusael begat * Lamech.
19. And Lamech took * unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20. And Adah bare * Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell * in tents,and of such as have cattle.
21. And his brother's name was Jubal:he was the father of all such as handle * the harp and organ.
22. And Zillah, she also bare * Tubalcain, an instructer * of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
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.
24. If Cain shall be avenged * sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
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 * .
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.
