Genesis 4:2-11

2And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.

3In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground,

4and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering,

5but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.

6The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen?

7If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it."

8Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

9Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

10And the Lord said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

11And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
