Chapter 4
Genesis · Moses
¹ 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 bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ³ And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord. ⁴ And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts, ⁵ but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell. ⁶ And the Lord God said to Cain, Why art thou become very sorrowful and why is thy countenance fallen? ⁷ 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.
Gen 4:1-7
⁸ 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 God said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother’s keeper? ¹⁰ 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 thou [art] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand. ¹² 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 to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven. ¹⁴ 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 anyone that finds me shall slay me. ¹⁵ And the Lord God said to him, Not so, anyone that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him. ¹⁶ So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Eden.
Gen 4:8-16
¹⁷ 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 to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. ²⁰ And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle. ²¹ And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp. ²² And Zillah also bore Tubal; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Tubal was Naamah. ²³ And Lamech said to his wives,
