* And Adam knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived , and bore Cain , and said , I have gotten a man from the LORD . * And she again bore his brother Abel . And Abel was a keeper of sheep , but Cain was a tiller of the ground . * And in process of time it came to pass , that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD . * And Abel , he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat thereof . And the LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering : * But to Cain and to his offering he had not respect . And Cain was very wroth , and his countenance fell . * And the LORD said to Cain , Why are you wroth ? and why is your countenance fallen ? * If you do well , shall you not be accepted ? and if you do not well , sin lies at the door . And to you shall be his desire , and you shall rule over him . * 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 . * And the LORD said to Cain , Where is Abel your brother ? And he said , I know not : Am I my brother ' keeper ? * And he said , What have you done ? the voice of your brother ' blood cries to me from the ground . * And now are you cursed from the earth , which has opened her mouth to receive your brother ' blood from your hand ; * When you till the ground , it shall not from now on yield to you her strength ; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth . * And Cain said to the LORD , My punishment is greater than I can bear . * Behold , you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth ; and from your 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 finds me shall slay me . * And the LORD said to him , Therefore whoever slays Cain , vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold . And the LORD set a mark on Cain , lest any finding him should kill him . * And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD , and dwelled in the land of Nod , on the east of Eden . * And Cain knew his wife ; and she conceived , and bore Enoch : and he built a city , and called the name of the city , after the name of his son , Enoch . * And to Enoch was born Irad : and Irad begat Mehujael : and Mehujael begat Methusael : and Methusael begat Lamech . * And Lamech took to him two wives : the name of the one was Adah , and the name of the other Zillah . * And Adah bore Jabal : he was the father of such as dwell in tents , and of such as have cattle . * And his brother ' name was Jubal : he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ . * And Zillah , she also bore Tubalcain , an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron : and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah . * And Lamech said to his wives , Adah and Zillah , Hear my voice ; you wives of Lamech , listen to my speech : for I have slain a man to my wounding , and a young man to my hurt . * If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold , truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold . * And Adam knew his wife again ; and she bore a son , and called his name Seth : For God , said she , has appointed me another seed instead of Abel , whom Cain slew . * And to Seth , to him also there was born a son ; and he called his name Enos : then began men to call on the name of the LORD .
