* And the man had sex with his wife Eve ; and she became pregnant , and gave birth to Cain , and said , I have gotten a man with [the help of ] Yahweh . * And again she 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 Yahweh . * And Abel , he also brought of the firstborns of his flock and of its fat . And Yahweh had respect to Abel and to his offering : * but to Cain and to his offering he did not have respect . And Cain was very angry , and his countenance fell . * And Yahweh said to Cain , Why are you angry ? And why is your countenance fallen ? * If you do well , will it not be lifted up ? And if you do not well , sin is crouching at the door : and to you will be its desire , but you will rule over it . * And Cain told 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 Yahweh said to Cain , Where is Abel your brother ? And he said , I don 't know : am I my brother 's keeper ? * And he said , What have you done ? The voice of your brother 's blood cries to me from the ground . * And now cursed are you from the ground , which has opened its mouth to receive your brother 's blood from your hand ; * from now on when you till the ground , it will not yield its strength to you ; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth . * And Cain said to Yahweh , My punishment is greater than I can bear . * Look , you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground ; and from your face I will be hid ; and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth ; and it will come to pass , that whoever finds me will slay me . * And Yahweh said to him , Therefore whoever slays Cain , vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold . And Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain , lest anyone finding him should strike him . * And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh , and dwelt in the land of Nod , on the east of Eden . * And Cain had sex with his wife ; and she became pregnant , and gave birth to 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 begot Mehujael : and Mehujael begot Methushael ; and Methushael begot 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 [have ] cattle . * And his brother 's name was Jubal : he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe . * And Zillah , she also bore Tubal-cain , the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron : and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah . * And Lamech said to his wives : Adah and Zillah , hear my voice ; You (note :){+}(:note ) wives of Lamech , listen to my speech : For I have slain a man for wounding me , And a young man for bruising me : * If Cain will be avenged sevenfold , Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold . * And Adam had sex with his wife ; and she bore a son , and named him Seth . For , [she said ], God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel ; for Cain slew him . * And to Seth , to him also there was born a son ; and he named him Enosh . Then it was begun to call on the name of Yahweh .
