Genesis 4:1-7

1And AdamH120 knewH3045H853 EveH2332 his wifeH802; and she conceivedH2029, and boreH3205H853 CainH7014, and saidH559, I have gottenH7069 a manH376 fromH854 the LORDH3068.1 2And she againH3254 boreH3205 his brotherH251 AbelH1893. And AbelH1893 was a keeperH7462 of sheepH6629, but CainH7014 was a tillerH5647 of the groundH127.23

3And in processH7093 of timeH3117 it came to pass, that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offeringH4503 to the LORDH3068.4 4And AbelH1893, heH1931 also broughtH935 of the firstlingsH1062 of his flockH6629 and of its fatH2459. And the LORDH3068 had respectH8159 to AbelH1893 and to his offeringH4503:5 5But to CainH7014 and to his offeringH4503 he had not respectH8159. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 angryH2734, and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307.

6And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, Why art thou angryH2734? and why is thy countenanceH6440 fallenH5307? 7IfH518 thou doest wellH3190, shalt thou not be acceptedH7613? and if thou doest not wellH3190, sinH2403 liethH7257 at the doorH6607. And to thee shall be his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him.67
