Genesis 4:3-15

3And in processH7093 of timeH3117 it came to pass, that CainH7014 broughtH935 of the fruitH6529 of the groundH127 an offeringH4503 to the LORDH3068.1 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 offeringH4503:2 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.34

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 groundH127.5 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 to thee its strengthH3581; a fugitiveH5128 and a vagabondH5110 shalt thou be in the earthH776.

13And CainH7014 saidH559 to the LORDH3068, My punishmentH5771 is greaterH1419 than I can bearH5375.6 14Behold, thou hast driven meH1644 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 any one that findeth meH4672 shall slay meH2026. 15And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, ThereforeH3651 whoever slayethH2026 CainH7014, vengeance shall be takenH5358 on him sevenfoldH7659. And the LORDH3068 setH7760 a markH226 upon CainH7014, lestH1115 any findingH4672 him should killH5221 him.
