Genesis 4:3-8
3So it cameH1961 about 1in the courseH4480H7093 of timeH3117 that CainH7014 broughtH935 an offeringH4503 to the LordH3068 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127. 42AbelH1893, on his partH1571 alsoH1571 broughtH935 of the firstlingsH1060 of his flockH6629 and of their fatH2459 portionsH2459. And 3the LordH3068 hadH8159 regardH8159 for AbelH1893 and for his offeringH4503; 5but 4for CainH7014 and for his offeringH4503 He hadH8159 noH3808 regardH8159. So 5CainH7014 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307. 6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “6WhyH4100 are you angryH2734? And whyH4100 has your countenanceH6440 fallenH5307? 77IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 8will not your countenance be liftedH7613 up? 9And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is crouchingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 10but you must masterH4910 it.” 8CainH7014 11toldH559 AbelH1893 his brotherH251. And it cameH1961 about when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 up againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251 and 12killedH2026 him.
