Genesis 4:11-17
11NowH6258 1you are cursedH779 from the groundH127, whichH834 has openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from your handH3027. 122WhenH3588 you cultivateH5647 the groundH127, it will noH3808 longerH3254 yieldH5414 its strengthH3581 to you; 3you will be a vagrantH5128 and a wandererH5110 on the earthH776.” 13CainH7014 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “My punishmentH5771 is tooH4480 greatH1419 to bearH5375! 14BeholdH2005, You have 4drivenH1644 me this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the groundH127; and from Your faceH6440 I will be hiddenH5641, and 5I will be a vagrantH5128 and a wandererH5110 on the earthH776, and 6whoeverH3605 findsH4672 me will killH2026 me.” 15So the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “ThereforeH3651 whoeverH3605 killsH2026 CainH7014, vengeanceH5358 will be takenH5358 on him 7sevenfoldH7659.” And the LordH3068 89appointedH7760 a signH226 for CainH7014, so that noH3605 oneH3605 findingH4672 him would slayH5221 him.
16Then CainH7014 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 10of the LordH3068, and 11settledH3427 in the landH776 of 12NodH5113, eastH6926 of EdenH5731.
17CainH7014 13hadH3045 relationsH3045 with his wifeH802 and she conceivedH2029, and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to EnochH2585; and he builtH1129 a cityH5892, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 EnochH2585, after the nameH8034 of his sonH1121.
