Chapter 4
And
Adam
knew
Eve
his
wife;
and
she
conceived,
and
bare
Cain,
and
said,
I
have
gotten
a
man
from
the
Lord.
2
And
she
again
bare
his
brother
Abel.
And
Abel
was
a
keeper
of
sheep,
but
Cain
was
a
tiller
of
the
ground.
3
And
in
process
of
time
it
came
to
pass,
that
Cain
brought
of
the
fruit
of
the
ground
an
offering
unto
the
Lord.
4
And
Abel,
he
also
brought
of
the
firstlings
of
his
flock
and
of
the
fat
thereof.
And
the
Lord
had
respect
unto
Abel
and
to
his
offering:
5
But
unto
Cain
and
to
his
offering
he
had
not
respect.
And
Cain
was
very
wroth,
and
his
countenance
fell.
6
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Cain,
Why
art
thou
wroth?
and
why
is
thy
countenance
fallen?
7
If
thou
doest
well,
shalt
thou
not
be
accepted?
and
if
thou
doest
not
well,
sin
lieth
at
the
door.
And
unto
thee
shall
be
his
desire,
and
thou
shalt
rule
over
him.
8
And
Cain
talked
with
Abel
his
brother:
and
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
were
in
the
field,
that
Cain
rose
up
against
Abel
his
brother,
and
slew
him.
9
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Cain,
Where
is
Abel
thy
brother?
And
he
said,
I
know
not:
Am
I
my
brother’s
keeper?
10
And
he
said,
What
hast
thou
done?
the
voice
of
thy
brother’s
blood
crieth
unto
me
from
the
ground.
11
And
now
art
thou
cursed
from
the
earth,
which
hath
opened
her
mouth
to
receive
thy
brother’s
blood
from
thy
hand;
12
When
thou
tillest
the
ground,
it
shall
not
henceforth
yield
unto
thee
her
strength;
a
fugitive
and
a
vagabond
shalt
thou
be
in
the
earth.
13
And
Cain
said
unto
the
Lord,
My
punishment
is
greater
than
I
can
bear.
14
Behold,
thou
hast
driven
me
out
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
earth;
and
from
thy
face
shall
I
be
hid;
and
I
shall
be
a
fugitive
and
a
vagabond
in
the
earth;
and
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
every
one
that
findeth
me
shall
slay
me.
15
And
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Therefore
whosoever
slayeth
Cain,
vengeance
shall
be
taken
on
him
sevenfold.
And
the
Lord
set
a
mark
upon
Cain,
lest
any
finding
him
should
kill
him.
16
And
Cain
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Nod,
on
the
east
of
Eden.
17
And
Cain
knew
his
wife;
and
she
conceived,
and
bare
Enoch:
and
he
builded
a
city,
and
called
the
name
of
the
city,
after
the
name
of
his
son,
Enoch.
18
And
unto
Enoch
was
born
Irad:
and
Irad
begat
Mehujael:
and
Mehujael
begat
Methusael:
and
Methusael
begat
Lamech.
19
And
Lamech
took
unto
him
two
wives:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Adah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Zillah.
20
And
Adah
bare
Jabal:
he
was
the
father
of
such
as
dwell
in
tents,
and
of
such
as
have
cattle.
21
And
his
brother’s
name
was
Jubal:
he
was
the
father
of
all
such
as
handle
the
harp
and
organ.
22
And
Zillah,
she
also
bare
Tubal-cain,
an
instructer
of
every
artificer
in
brass
and
iron:
and
the
sister
of
Tubal-cain
was
Naamah.
23
And
Lamech
said
unto
his
wives,
Adah
and
Zillah,
Hear
my
voice;
ye
wives
of
Lamech,
hearken
unto
my
speech:
for
I
have
slain
a
man
to
my
wounding,
and
a
young
man
to
my
hurt.
24
If
Cain
shall
be
avenged
sevenfold,
truly
Lamech
seventy
and
sevenfold.
25
And
Adam
knew
his
wife
again;
and
she
bare
a
son,
and
called
his
name
Seth:
For
God,
said
she,
hath
appointed
me
another
seed
instead
of
Abel,
whom
Cain
slew.
26
And
to
Seth,
to
him
also
there
was
born
a
son;
and
he
called
his
name
Enos:
then
began
men
to
call
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.
