*
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 brothers keeper ?
*
And he said ,
What hast thou done ?
the voice of thy brothers blood crieth unto me from the ground .
*
And now art thou cursed from the earth ,
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brothers 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 .
