9And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 CainH7014, “WhereH335 is your brotherH251 AbelH1893?”

“I do notH3808 knowH3045!” he answeredH559. “Am IH595 my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?”

10“WhatH4100 have you doneH6213?” repliedH559 the LORD. “The voiceH6963 of your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 cries outH6817 to MeH413 fromH4480 the groundH127. 11NowH6258 youH859 are cursed and banishedH779 fromH4480 the groundH127, whichH834 has openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from your handH3027.
