Genesis 4:2-11
2And she againH3254 boreH3205 his brotherH251 AbelH1893. And AbelH1893 was a keeperH7462 of sheepH6629, but CainH7014 was a tillerH5647 of the groundH127.12
3And in processH7093 of timeH3117 it came to pass, that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offeringH4503 to the LORDH3068.3 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 offeringH4503:4 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.56
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 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to 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 to me from the groundH127.7 11And now art thou cursedH779 from the earthH127, which hath openedH6475 her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from thy handH3027;
