 4:1  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
 4:2  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a
keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
 4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought
of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
 4:4  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:
 4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And
Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
 4:6  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why
is thy countenance fallen?
 4:7  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.
 4:8  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.
 4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
 4:10  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy
brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
 4:11  And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath
opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
 4:12  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.
 4:13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater
than I can bear.
 4:14  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.
 4:15  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.
 4:16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and
dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
 4:17  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.
 4:18  And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael:
and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
 4:19  And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one
[was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
 4:20  And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell
in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
 4:21  And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of
all such as handle the harp and organ.
 4:22  And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of
every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain
[was] Naamah.
 4:23  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.
 4:24  If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy
and sevenfold.
 4:25  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.
 4:26  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.
