*
And again ,
she bore his brother Abel .
Now Abel was a keeper of sheep ,
and Cain a tiller of the ground .
*
In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground ,
*
and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions .
And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering ,
*
but for Cain and his offering he had no regard .
So Cain was very angry ,
and his countenance fell .
*
The LORD said to Cain , "
Why are you angry ,
and why has your countenance fallen ?
*
If you do well ,
will you not be accepted ?
And if you do not do well ,
sin is couching at the door ;
its desire is for you ,
but you must master it ."
*
Cain said to Abel his brother , "
Let us go out to the field ."
And when they were in the field ,
Cain rose up against his brother Abel ,
and killed him .
