And Adam
knew
Eve
his wife;
and she conceived,
and bare
Cain,
and said,
I have gotten
a man
from
the LORD.
And she again
bare
his brother
Abel.
And Abel
was a keeper
of sheep,
but Cain
was a tiller
of the ground.
And in process
of time
it came to pass, that Cain
brought
of the fruit
of the ground
an offering
unto the LORD.
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:
suet
στεάτων
steatōn
But unto Cain
and to his offering
he had not respect.
And Cain
was very
wroth,
and his countenance
fell.
And the LORD
said
unto Cain,
Why art thou wroth?
and why is thy countenance
fallen?
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.
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.

And the LORD
said
unto Cain,
Where
is Abel
thy brother?
And he said,
I know
not: Am I my brother's
keeper?
And he said,
What
hast thou done?
the voice
of thy brother's
blood
crieth
unto me from the ground.
And now art thou cursed
from the earth,
which hath opened
her mouth
to receive
thy brother's
blood
from thy hand;
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.
And Cain
said
unto the LORD,
My punishment
is greater
than I can bear.
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.

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.

And Cain
went out
from the presence
of the LORD,
and dwelt
in the land
of Nod,
on the east
of Eden.
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.
And unto Enoch
was born
Irad:
and Irad
begat
Mehujael:
and Mehujael
begat
Methusael:
and Methusael
begat
Lamech.
And Lamech
took
unto him two
wives:
the name
of the one
was Adah,
and the name
of the other
Zillah.
And Adah
bare
Jabal:
he was the father
of such as dwell
in tents,
and of such as have cattle.
And his brother's
name
was Jubal:
he was the father
of all such as handle
the harp
and organ.
And Zillah,
she also bare
Tubalcain,
an instructer
of every artificer
in brass
and iron:
and the sister
of Tubalcain
was Naamah.
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.

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.
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.
