4Adam slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and had Cain. She said, "I've gotten a man, with GOD's help!"H120H3045H853H2332H802H2029H3205H853H7014H559H7069H376H854H30682Then she had another baby, Abel. Abel was a herdsman and Cain a farmer.H3254H3205H251H1893H1893H7462H6629H7014H5647H1273Time passed. Cain brought an offering to GOD from the produce of his farm.H7093H3117H7014H935H6529H127H4503H30684Abel also brought an offering, but from the firstborn animals of his herd, choice cuts of meat. GOD liked Abel and his offering,H1893H1931H935H1062H6629H2459H3068H8159H1893H45035but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.H7014H4503H8159H7014H3966H2734H6440H53076GOD spoke to Cain: "Why this tantrum? Why the sulking?H3068H559H7014H2734H6440H53077If you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you don't do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it's out to get you, you've got to master it."H518H3190H7613H3190H2403H7257H6607H8669H49108Cain had words with his brother. They were out in the field; Cain came at Abel his brother and killed him.H7014H559H413H1893H251H7704H7014H6965H413H1893H251H20269GOD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "How should I know? Am I his babysitter?"H3068H559H7014H335H1893H251H559H3045H251H810410GOD said, "What have you done! The voice of your brother's blood is calling to me from the ground.H559H4100H6213H6963H251H1818H6817H12711From now on you'll get nothing but curses from this ground; you'll be driven from this ground that has opened its arms to receive the blood of your murdered brother.H779H127H6475H6310H3947H251H1818H302712You'll farm this ground, but it will no longer give you its best. You'll be a homeless wanderer on Earth."H3588H5647H127H3254H5414H3581H5128H5110H77613Cain said to GOD, "My punishment is too much. I can't take it!H7014H559H3068H5771H1419H537514You've thrown me off the land and I can never again face you. I'm a homeless wanderer on Earth and whoever finds me will kill me."H1644H3117H6440H127H5921H6440H5641H5128H5110H776H1961H4672H202615GOD told him, "No. Anyone who kills Cain will pay for it seven times over." GOD put a mark on Cain to protect him so that no one who met him would kill him.H3068H559H3651H2026H7014H5358H7659H3068H7760H226H7014H1115H4672H522116Cain left the presence of GOD and lived in No-Man's-Land, east of Eden.H7014H3318H6440H3068H3427H776H5113H6926H573117Cain slept with his wife. She conceived and had Enoch. He then built a city and named it after his son, Enoch.H7014H3045H802H2029H3205H2585H1129H5892H7121H8034H5892H8034H1121H258518Enoch had Irad, Irad had Mehujael, Mehujael had Methushael, Methushael had Lamech.H2585H3205H5897H5897H3205H4232H4232H3205H4967H4967H3205H392919Lamech married two wives, Adah and Zillah.H3929H3947H8147H802H8034H259H5711H8034H8145H674120Adah gave birth to Jabal, the ancestor of all who live in tents and herd cattle.H5711H3205H2989H1H3427H168H473521His brother's name was Jubal, the ancestor of all who play the lyre and flute.H251H8034H3106H1H8610H3658H574822Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who worked at the forge making bronze and iron tools. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.H6741H3205H8423H3913H2794H5178H1270H269H8423H527923Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, listen to me; you wives of Lamech, hear me out: I killed a man for wounding me, a young man who attacked me.H3929H559H802H5711H6741H8085H6963H802H3929H238H565H2026H376H6482H3206H225024If Cain is avenged seven times, for Lamech it's seventy-seven!H3588H7014H5358H7659H3929H7657H765125Adam slept with his wife again. She had a son whom she named Seth. She said, "God has given me another child in place of Abel whom Cain killed."H120H3045H802H5750H3205H1121H7121H8034H8352H430H7896H312H2233H8478H1893H3588H7014H202626And then Seth had a son whom he named Enosh. That's when men and women began praying and worshiping in the name of GOD.H8352H1931H3205H1121H7121H8034H583H2490H7121H8034H3068
