Cain and Abel

Genesis, chapter 4

1: Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Yahweh."

2: And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

3: In the course of time Cain brought to the Yahweh an offering of the fruit of the ground,

4: and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Yahweh had regard for Abel and his offering,

5: but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

6: The Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

7: If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

8: Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

9: Then the Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

10: And the Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

11: And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12: When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

13: Cain said to the Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14: Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

15: Then the Yahweh said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the Yahweh put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

16: Then Cain went away from the presence of the Yahweh, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17: Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

18: To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.

19: And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20: Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.

21: His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

22: Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Na'amah.

23: Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say:
I have slain a man for wounding me,
a young man for striking me.

24: If Cain is avenged sevenfold,
truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

25: And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

26: To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the Yahweh.
