Genesis 4:1-7
1Now the manH120 1hadH3045 relationsH3045 with his wifeH802 EveH2332, and she conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to CainH7014, and she saidH559, “I have obtainedH7069 a maleH376 child with the help of the LordH3068.”
2And againH3254, she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to his brotherH251 AbelH1893. Now 2AbelH1893 was 3a keeperH7462 of flocksH6629, but CainH7014 was a cultivatorH5647 of the groundH127.
3So it cameH1961 aboutH1961 4in the courseH4480H7093 of timeH3117 that CainH7014 broughtH935 an offeringH4503 to the LordH3068 from the fruitH6529 of the groundH127.
45AbelH1893, on his partH1571 alsoH1571 broughtH935 an offering, from the firstbornH1060 of his flockH6629 and from their fatH2459 portionsH2459. And 6the LordH3068 hadH8159 regardH8159 for AbelH1893 and his offeringH4503;
5but 7for CainH7014 and his offeringH4503 He hadH8159 noH3808 regardH8159. So 8CainH7014 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 and his faceH6440 9wasH5307 gloomyH5307.
6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “10WhyH4100 areH2734 you angryH2734? And whyH4100 isH5307 your faceH6440 11gloomyH5307?
712IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 13will your face not be 14cheerfulH7613? 15And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is lurkingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 16but you must masterH4910 it.”
