Genesis 4:11-15

11And nowH6258 be thou cursedH779 from the groundH127, which hath openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother's bloodH1818 from thy handH3027.

12When thou tillest the groundH776, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strengthH3581; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou beH1961 on the earthH776.

13And CainH7014 saidH559 to Jehovah, My punishmentH5771 is too greatH1419 to be borneH5375.

14Behold, thou hast drivenH1644 me this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the groundH776, and from thy faceH6440 shall I beH1961 hidH5641; and I shall beH1961 a wanderer and fugitive on the earthH776; and it will come to pass, [that] every one who findsH4672 me will slayH2026 me.

15And Jehovah saidH559 to him, ThereforeH3651, whoever slayeth CainH7014, it shall be revenged sevenfoldH7659. And Jehovah setH7760 a mark on CainH7014, lest any findingH4672 him should smite him.
