Genesis:4-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Adam knew Eve his wife ;
and she conceived ,
and bare Cain ,
and said ,
I have gotten a man from the LORD .
*
And she again bare 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 unto the LORD .
*
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 :
*
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect .
And Cain was very wroth ,
and his countenance fell .
*
And the LORD said unto Cain ,
Why art thou wroth ?
and why is thy countenance fallen ?
*
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 .
*
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 unto Cain ,
Where is Abel thy brother ?
And he said ,
I know not :
Am I my brother '
s keeper ?
*
And he said ,
What hast thou done ?
the voice of thy brother '
s blood crieth unto me from the ground .
*
And now art thou cursed from the earth ,
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother '
s blood from thy hand ;
*
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 .
*
And Cain said unto the LORD ,
My punishment is greater than I can bear .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD ,
and dwelt in the land of Nod ,
on the east of Eden .
*
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 .
*
And unto Enoch was born Irad :
and Irad begat Mehujael :
and Mehujael begat Methusael :
and Methusael begat Lamech .
*
And Lamech took unto him two wives :
the name of the one was Adah ,
and the name of the other Zillah .
*
And Adah bare Jabal :
he was the father of such as dwell in tents ,
and of such as have cattle .
*
And his brother '
s name was Jubal :
he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ .
*
And Zillah ,
she also bare Tubalcain ,
an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron :
and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah .
*
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 .
*
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold ,
truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
This is the book of the generations of Adam .
