Genesis 4
- 1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”
- 2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
- 3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.
- 4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,
- 5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
- 6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
- 7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
- 8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
- 9 Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
- 10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
- 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
- 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
- 13 Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
- 14 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”
- 15 Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.
- 16 Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
- 17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
- 18 To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
- 19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
- 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
- 21 His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
- 22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
- 23 Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
- 24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”
- 25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
- 26 A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.
