1
And Adam[H120]knew[H3045]Eve[H2332] his wife[H802]; and she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205]Cain[H7014], and said[H559], I have gotten[H7069] a man[H376]from[H854] the LORD[H3068].
2
And she again[H3254]bare[H3205] his brother[H251]Abel[H1893]. And Abel[H1893] was a keeper[H7462] of sheep[H6629], but Cain[H7014] was a tiller[H5647] of the ground[H127].
3
And in process[H7093] of time[H3117] it came to pass, that Cain[H7014]brought[H935] of the fruit[H6529] of the ground[H127] an offering[H4503] unto the LORD[H3068].
4
And Abel[H1893], he[H1931] also brought[H935] of the firstlings[H1062] of his flock[H6629] and of the fat[H2459] thereof. And the LORD[H3068] had respect[H8159] unto Abel[H1893] and to his offering[H4503]:
5
But unto Cain[H7014] and to his offering[H4503] he had not respect[H8159]. And Cain[H7014] was very[H3966]wroth[H2734], and his countenance[H6440]fell[H5307].
6
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Cain[H7014], Why art thou wroth?[H2734] and why is thy countenance[H6440]fallen?[H5307]
7If[H518] thou doest well[H3190], shalt thou not be accepted?[H7613] and if[H518] thou doest not well[H3190], sin[H2403]lieth[H7257] at the door[H6607]. And unto thee shall be his desire[H8669], and thou shalt rule[H4910] over him.
8
And Cain[H7014]talked[H559]with[H413]Abel[H1893] his brother[H251]: and it came to pass, when they were in the field[H7704], that Cain[H7014] rose up[H6965]against[H413]Abel[H1893] his brother[H251], and slew him[H2026].
9
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Cain[H7014], Where[H335] is Abel[H1893] thy brother?[H251] And he said[H559], I know[H3045] not: Am I my brother[H251]'s keeper?[H8104]
10
And he said[H559], What[H4100] hast thou done?[H6213] the voice[H6963] of thy brother's blood[H1818]crieth[H6817] unto me from the ground[H127].
11
And now art thou cursed[H779] from the earth[H127], which hath opened[H6475] her mouth[H6310] to receive[H3947] thy brother's blood[H1818] from thy hand[H3027];
12When[H3588] thou tillest[H5647] the ground[H127], it shall not henceforth[H3254]yield[H5414] unto thee her strength[H3581]; a fugitive[H5128] and a vagabond[H5110] shalt thou be in the earth[H776].
13
And Cain[H7014]said[H559] unto the LORD[H3068], My punishment[H5771] is greater[H1419] than I can bear[H5375].
14
Behold, thou hast driven me[H4672]out[H1644] this day[H3117]from[H5921] the face[H6440] of the earth[H127]; and from[H5921] thy face[H6440] shall I be hid[H5641]; and I shall be a fugitive[H5128] and a vagabond[H5110] in the earth[H776]; and it shall come to pass[H1961], that every one that findeth me[H2026] shall slay me[H2026].
15
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto him, Therefore[H3651] whosoever slayeth[H2026]Cain[H7014], vengeance shall be taken[H5358] on him sevenfold[H7659]. And the LORD[H3068]set[H7760] a mark[H226] upon Cain[H7014], lest[H1115] any finding[H4672] him should kill[H5221] him.
16
And Cain[H7014] went out[H3318] from the presence[H6440] of the LORD[H3068], and dwelt[H3427] in the land[H776] of Nod[H5113], on the east[H6926] of Eden[H5731].
17
And Cain[H7014]knew[H3045] his wife[H802]; and she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205]Enoch[H2585]: and he builded[H1129] a city[H5892], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the city[H5892], after the name[H8034] of his son[H1121], Enoch[H2585].
18
And unto Enoch[H2585] was born[H3205]Irad[H5897]: and Irad[H5897]begat[H3205]Mehujael[H4232]: and Mehujael[H4232]begat[H3205]Methusael[H4967]: and Methusael[H4967]begat[H3205]Lamech[H3929].
19
And Lamech[H3929]took[H3947] unto him two[H8147]wives[H802]: the name[H8034] of the one[H259] was Adah[H5711], and the name[H8034] of the other[H8145]Zillah[H6741].
20
And Adah[H5711]bare[H3205]Jabal[H2989]: he was the father[H1] of such as dwell[H3427] in tents[H168], and of such as have cattle[H4735].
21
And his brother's name[H8034] was Jubal[H3106]: he was the father[H1] of all such as handle[H8610] the harp[H3658] and organ[H5748].
22
And Zillah[H6741], she also bare[H3205]Tubalcain[H8423], an instructer[H3913] of every artificer[H2794] in brass[H5178] and iron[H1270]: and the sister[H269] of Tubalcain[H8423] was Naamah[H5279].
23
And Lamech[H3929]said[H559] unto his wives[H802], Adah[H5711] and Zillah[H6741], Hear[H8085] my voice[H6963]; ye wives[H802] of Lamech[H3929], hearken[H238] unto my speech[H565]: for I have slain[H2026] a man[H376] to my wounding[H6482], and a young man[H3206] to my hurt[H2250].
24If[H3588]Cain[H7014] shall be avenged[H5358]sevenfold[H7659], truly Lamech[H3929]seventy[H7657] and sevenfold[H7651].
25
And Adam[H120]knew[H3045] his wife[H802]again[H5750]; and she bare[H3205] a son[H1121], and called[H7121] his name[H8034]Seth[H8352]: For God[H430], said she, hath appointed[H7896] me another[H312]seed[H2233]instead[H8478] of Abel[H1893], whom[H3588]Cain[H7014]slew[H2026].
26
And to Seth[H8352], to him[H1931] also there was born[H3205] a son[H1121]; and he called[H7121] his name[H8034]Enos[H583]: then began men[H2490] to call[H7121] upon the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068].
