Genesis 4
1 And Man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man with Jehovah.
The man slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have produced a man with Yahweh's help.”
2 And she further bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, but Cain was a husbandman.
Then she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd, but Cain cultivated the soil.
3 And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.
It came about that in the course of time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground as an offering to Yahweh.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering;
As for Abel, he brought some of the firstborn of his flock and some of the fat. Yahweh accepted Abel and his offering,
5 and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
but Cain and his offering he did not accept. So Cain was very angry, and he scowled.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why is thy countenance fallen?
Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry and why are you scowling?
7 If thou doest well, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door; and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin crouches at the door and desires to control you, but you must rule over it.”
8 And Cain spoke 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.
Cain spoke to Abel his brother. It came about that while they were in the fields, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?”
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Yahweh said, “What have you done? Your brother's blood is calling out to me from the ground.
11 And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
Now cursed are you from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
When you cultivate the ground, from now on it will not yield to you its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer you will be in the earth.”
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who finds me will slay me.
Indeed, you have driven me out this day from this ground, and I will be hidden from your face. I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
Yahweh said to him, “If anyone kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that if anyone found him, that person would not attack him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
So Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh and lived in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
Cain slept with his wife and she conceived. She gave birth to Enoch. He built a city and named it after his son Enoch.
18 And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
19 And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
Lamech took for himself two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other was Zillah.
20 And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and [breed] cattle.
Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the father of those who lived in tents who have livestock.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of those who play the harp and pipe.
22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
As for Zillah, she bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of tools of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise.
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. For I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
24 If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.
If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech will be avenged seventy-seven times.”
25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: ...For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him.
Adam slept with his wife again, and she bore another son. She called his name Seth and said, “God has given me another son in the place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
26 And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
A son was born to Seth and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of Yahweh.
