nasb@Genesis:4:1 @Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD."

nasb@Genesis:4:2 @Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:3 @So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:4 @Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering;

nasb@Genesis:4:5 @but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.

nasb@Genesis:4:6 @Then the LORD said to Cain, " Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?

nasb@Genesis:4:7" @ If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."

nasb@Genesis:4:8 @Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

nasb@Genesis:4:9 @Then the LORD said to Cain, " Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

nasb@Genesis:4:10 @He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:11" @Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

nasb@Genesis:4:12" @ When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:4:13 @Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is too great to bear!

nasb@Genesis:4:14" @Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

nasb@Genesis:4:15 @So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.

nasb@Genesis:4:16 @Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

nasb@Genesis:4:17 @Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

nasb@Genesis:4:18 @Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:4:19 @Lamech took to himself two wives- the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.

nasb@Genesis:4:20 @Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

nasb@Genesis:4:21 @His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

nasb@Genesis:4:22 @As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

nasb@Genesis:4:23 @Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Give heed to my speech, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me;

nasb@Genesis:4:24 @If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

nasb@Genesis:4:25 @Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."

nasb@Genesis:4:26 @To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.
