Genesis 4
1AND Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man from God.”
2And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel became a keeper of sheep, and Cain tilled the ground.
3And when in process of time Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord, and Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock even some of the fattest of them, God looked upon Abel and on his gifts;
5but upon Cain and upon his sacrifices he did not look with regard. Thereupon Cain was exceedingly grieved and his countenance became dejected.
6And the Lord God said to Cain, “Why art thou become sorrowful and why is thy countenance dejected?”
7Though thou hast offered right, yet if thou hast not rightly divided, hast thou not sinned? Be composed. To thee shall be his recourse, and thou shalt rule over him.”
8Then Cain said to Abel his brother, “Let us go into the plain.” And when they were in the plain, Cain rose upon Abel his brother and slew him.
9And when the Lord God said to Cain, “Where is Abel thy brother?” he said I know not. Am I my brother’s keeper?
10Then the Lord said, “What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me out of the ground.
11Now therefore thou art cursed from this land, which hath opened its mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand.
12When thou tillest the ground, it will not henceforth yield thee its strength. Thou shalt be in a state of anguish and terror in this land.”
13And Cain said to the Lord God, “Is my fault too great to be forgiven?
14If thou castest me out this day from the face of this land and I be hid from Thy presence and be in a state of anguish and terror in the land, it will come to pass that whoever findeth me will kill me.”
15And the Lord said to him, “Not so. Whosoever killeth Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance.” And the Lord God gave a sign to Cain, that whoever found him would not kill him.
16So Cain went out from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Naid over against Eden.
17And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Enoch. And he employed himself in building a city and he called the city Enoch after his son’s name.
18And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel, and Maleleel begot Mathousala, and Mathousala begot Lamech.
19And Lamech took to himself two wives. The name of the first was Ada; and the name of the second Sella.
20And Ada bore Jobel. He was the father of them who dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21And the name of his brother was Joubal. He was the inventor of the psaltery and kithara.
22As for Sella, she also bore Thobel, and he was a smith, a manufacturer of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema.
23And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella, “Hearken to my voice, ye wives of Lamech, “Listen attentively to my words. “For have I slain a man that I should be wounded, “And a young man that I should be hurt?
24“For sevenfold vengeance was to be taken for Cain; “But for Lamech will be taken seventy times seven.”
25And Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and brought forth a son and called his name Seth, saying, “For God hath raised up for me another seed in the place of Abel whom Cain slew.”
26And Seth had a son; and he called his name Enos. He hoped that he would invoke the name of the Lord God.
