Genesis 4
4AND ADAM knew Eve as his wife, and she became pregnant and bore Cain; and she said, I have gotten {and} gained a man with the help of the Lord.H120H3045H853H2332H802H2029H3205H853H7014H559H7069H376H854H30682And [next] she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.H3254H3205H251H1893H1893H7462H6629H7014H5647H1273And in the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground.H7093H3117H7014H935H6529H127H4503H30684And Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat portions. And the Lord had respect {and} regard for Abel and for his offering,H1893H1931H935H1062H6629H2459H3068H8159H1893H45035But for Cain and his offering He had no respect {or} regard. So Cain was exceedingly angry {and} indignant, and he looked sad {and} depressed.H7014H4503H8159H7014H3966H2734H6440H53076And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? And why do you look sad {and} depressed {and} dejected?H3068H559H7014H2734H6440H53077If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.H518H3190H7613H3190H2403H7257H6607H8669H49108And Cain said to his brother, Let us go out to the field. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.H7014H559H413H1893H251H7704H7014H6965H413H1893H251H20269And the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?H3068H559H7014H335H1893H251H559H3045H251H810410And [the Lord] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground.H559H4100H6213H6963H251H1818H6817H12711And now you are cursed by reason of the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's [shed] blood from your hand.H779H127H6475H6310H3947H251H1818H302712When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth [in perpetual exile, a degraded outcast].H3588H5647H127H3254H5414H3581H5128H5110H77613Then Cain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.H7014H559H3068H5771H1419H537514Behold, You have driven me out this day from the face of the land, and from Your face I will be hidden; and I will be a fugitive and a vagabond {and} a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.H1644H3117H6440H127H5921H6440H5641H5128H5110H776H1961H4672H202615And the Lord said to him, Therefore, if anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark {or} sign upon Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.H3068H559H3651H2026H7014H5358H7659H3068H7760H226H7014H1115H4672H522116So Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod [wandering], east of Eden.H7014H3318H6440H3068H3427H776H5113H6926H573117And Cain's wife [one of Adam's offspring] became pregnant and bore Enoch; and Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.H7014H3045H802H2029H3205H2585H1129H5892H7121H8034H5892H8034H1121H258518To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael the father of Methusael, and Methusael the father of Lamech.H2585H3205H5897H5897H3205H4232H4232H3205H4967H4967H3205H392919And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah and of the other was Zillah.H3929H3947H8147H802H8034H259H5711H8034H8145H674120Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle {and} purchase possessions.H5711H3205H2989H1H3427H168H473521His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.H251H8034H3106H1H8610H3658H574822Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all [cutting] instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.H6741H3205H8423H3913H2794H5178H1270H269H8423H527923Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say; for I have slain a man [merely] for wounding me, and a young man [only] for striking {and} bruising me.H3929H559H802H5711H6741H8085H6963H802H3929H238H565H2026H376H6482H3206H225024If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech [will be avenged] seventy-sevenfold.H3588H7014H5358H7659H3929H7657H765125And Adam's wife again became pregnant, and she bore a son and called his name Seth. For God, she said, has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him.H120H3045H802H5750H3205H1121H7121H8034H8352H430H7896H312H2233H8478H1893H3588H7014H202626And to Seth also a son was born, whom he named Enosh. At that time men began to call [upon God] by the name of the Lord.H8352H1931H3205H1121H7121H8034H583H2490H7121H8034H3068
