Genesis 4:8-16
8And CainH7014 talkedH559 withH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251: and it came to pass, when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 rose upH6965 againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slew himH2026.
9And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559, I knowH3045 not: Am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104? 10And he saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213? the voiceH6963 of thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 criethH6817 unto me from the groundH127.1 11And now art thou cursedH779 from the earthH127, which hath openedH6475 her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027; 12WhenH3588 thou tillestH5647 the groundH127, it shall not henceforthH3254 yieldH5414 unto thee her strengthH3581; a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 shalt thou be in the earthH776. 13And CainH7014 saidH559 unto YhwhH3068, My punishmentH5771 is greaterH1419 than I can bearH5375.2 14Behold, thou hast driven me outH1644 this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; and fromH5921 thy faceH6440 shall I be hidH5641; and I shall be a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 in the earthH776; and it shall come to passH1961, that every one that findeth meH4672 shall slay meH2026. 15And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto him, ThereforeH3651 whosoever slayethH2026 CainH7014, vengeance shall be takenH5358 on him sevenfoldH7659. And YhwhH3068 setH7760 a markH226 upon CainH7014, lestH1115 any findingH4672 him should killH5221 him.
16And CainH7014 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of YhwhH3068, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of NodH5113, on the eastH6926 of EdenH5731.
