Revised Version 1895
Genesis 4:2-11
2And againH3254 she bare his brotherH251 AbelH1893. And AbelH1893 was a keeper of sheepH6629, but CainH7014 was a tillerH5647 of the groundH127.
3And in process of time it cameH935 to passH935, that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offering unto the LORDH3068.
4And AbelH1893, he also broughtH935 of the firstlings of his flockH6629 and of the fatH2459 thereof. And the LORDH3068 had respect unto AbelH1893 and to his offering:
5but unto CainH7014 and to his offering he had notH3808 respectH6440. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 wroth, and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307.
6And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto CainH7014, WhyH4100 art thou wroth? and whyH4100 is thy countenanceH6440 fallenH5307?
7IfH518 thou doest wellH3190, shalt thou notH3808 be accepted? and ifH518 thou doest notH3808 wellH3190, sinH2403 coucheth at the doorH6607: and unto thee shall be his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him.
8And CainH7014 toldH559 AbelH1893 his brotherH251. And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 upH6965 againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slewH2026 him.
9And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559, I knowH3045 notH3808: am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?
10And he saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213? the voiceH6963 of thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 crieth unto meH413 from the groundH127.
11And nowH6258 cursedH779 art thou from the groundH127, whichH834 hath openedH6475 herH3947 mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027;
