Genesis 4:3-15
3And in process of time it cameH935 to pass that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offeringH4503 to Jehovah.
4And AbelH1893, he alsoH1571 broughtH935 of the firstlings of his flockH6629, and of their fatH2459. And Jehovah lookedH8159 upon AbelH1893, and on his offeringH4503;
5and upon CainH7014, and on his offeringH4503, he did not lookH8159. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 angryH2734, and his countenance fellH5307.
6And Jehovah saidH559 to CainH7014, WhyH4100 art thou angryH2734, and whyH4100 is thy countenance fallenH5307?
7If thou doest wellH3190, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not wellH3190, sinH2403 lieth at the doorH6607; and unto thee [shall be] his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him.
8And CainH7014 spoke to AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and it came to pass when they wereH1961 in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 up against AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slewH2026 him.
9And Jehovah saidH559 to CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559, I knowH3045 not: am I my brother's keeperH8104?
10And he saidH559, What hast thou done? the voiceH6963 of thy brother's bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 to me from the groundH127.
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.
