Genesis 4
1 And Adam had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
4 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:
And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
Hast thou not sinned if thou hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to thee shall be his submission, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 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 Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
11 And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
And now thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12 When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
When thou tillest the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to thee: thou shalt be groaning and trembling on the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
14 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your 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 finds me shall slay me.
If thou castest me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall slay me.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noëma.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
25 And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 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.
And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
