4Genesis 4

1And Adam knew Eve his wife; who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.Select Genesis 4:1

2And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.Select Genesis 4:2

3And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.Select Genesis 4:3

4Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.Select Genesis 4:4

5But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceeding angry, and his countenance fell.Select Genesis 4:5

6And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?Select Genesis 4:6

7If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.Select Genesis 4:7

8And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.Select Genesis 4:8

9And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered: I know not: am I my brother's keeper?Select Genesis 4:9

10And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.Select Genesis 4:10

11Now therefore cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.Select Genesis 4:11

12When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.Select Genesis 4:12

13And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.Select Genesis 4:13

14Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face I shall be hid, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one therefore that findeth me, shall kill me.Select Genesis 4:14

15And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not so be: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.Select Genesis 4:15

16And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth at the east side of Eden.Select Genesis 4:16

17And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.Select Genesis 4:17

18And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech,Select Genesis 4:18

19Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella.Select Genesis 4:19

20And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.Select Genesis 4:20

21And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.Select Genesis 4:21

22Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.Select Genesis 4:22

23And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.Select Genesis 4:23

24Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.Select Genesis 4:24

25Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed for Abel, whom Cain slew.Select Genesis 4:25

26But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos: this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.Select Genesis 4:26
