hid myself.”

And to Adam He said: “Because you have
listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat,
cursed is the ground because of you; through
toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;
and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field;
Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou art,
and unto dust shalt thou return.
By the
sweat of your
brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground— because out of it were you taken. For dust you are,
and to dust you shall return.”

and evil.
And now, lest he reach out his hand
and take also from the tree of life,
and eat,
and live
forever...”

and bare

Abel.

Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
So in the course of time,
Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock
and of the fat thereof.
And the LORD had respect unto
Abel and to his offering:
while
Abel brought the best portions of the
firstborn of his flock.
And the LORD looked with favor on
Abel and his offering,
But unto
Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very
wroth,
and his countenance fell.
but He had no regard for
Cain and his offering. So
Cain became very
angry,
and his countenance fell.
And the LORD said unto
Cain, Why art thou
wroth?
and why is thy countenance fallen?
“Why are you
angry,” said the LORD to
Cain, “
and why has your countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is
crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
And Cain talked with
Abel his brother:
and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that
Cain rose up against
Abel his brother,
and slew him.
Then
Cain said to his brother
Abel, “Let us go out to the field.”
And while they were in the field,
Cain rose up against his brother
Abel and killed him.
And the LORD said unto
Cain, Where is
Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
And the LORD said to
Cain, “Where is your brother
Abel?” “I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood
cries out to Me from the ground.
And now art thou
cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Now you are
cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a
fugitive and a
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a
fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth.”
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
But
Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;
and from thy face shall I be
hid;
and I shall be a
fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth;
and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall
slay me.
Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth,
and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a
fugitive and a
wanderer on the earth,
and whoever finds me will kill me.”
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore
whosoever slayeth
Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him
sevenfold.
And the LORD set a mark upon
Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD,
and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of
Eden.

Cain went out from the presence of the LORD
and settled in the land of
Nod, east of

and she conceived
and gave birth to

and Irad was the father of Mehujael,
and Mehujael was the father of Methusael,

Lamech.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other
Zillah.
And Lamech married two women, one named Adah
and the other
Zillah.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

and raise
livestock.
And his brother’s name was
Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the
harp and organ.

Jubal; he was the father of all who play the
harp and flute.
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah
and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of
Lamech,
hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding,
and a young man to my
hurt.
Then
Lamech said to his wives: “Adah
and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of
Lamech,
listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.
