Genesis 4:8-16
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.
16And CainH7014 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of Nod, toward the eastH6926 of EdenH5731.
