And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man from Jehovah.
And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a feeder of sheep, and Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And it came to pass in process of time that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect to Abel and to his offering;
but to Cain and to his offering he had not respect: And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, will it not be lifted up ? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and to thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain said to 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.
And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [am] I the keeper of my brother?
And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
And now cursed [be] thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand.
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield its strength to thee; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be on the earth.
And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment [is] greater than to be borne.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day on the face of the ground, and from thy face I shall be hid, and I shall be a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth; and it will come to pass [that] every one finding me shall slay me.
And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, it shall be avenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod [wandering] east of Eden.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bare Enoch. And he was building a city, and called the city’s name, after the name of his son, Enoch.
And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
And Lemech took to him two wives; the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was father of such as dwell in tents and [have] cattle.
And his brother’s name [was] Jubal: he was father of all such as handle harp and pipe.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-Cain, forger of every tool of copper and iron; and Tubal-Cain’s sister [was] Naamah.
And Lemech said unto his wives,{HR}Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold,
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Sheth: for God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain slew [him].
And to Sheth, to him also was born a son, and he called his name Enoch: then it was begun to call on Jehovah’s name.
