1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Yahuah.
2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Yahuah.
4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Yahuah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6And the Yahuah said unto Cain, Why art you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen?
7If you doest well, shall you not be accepted? and if you doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto you his desire, and you shall rule over him.
8And 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.
9And the Yahuah said unto Cain, Where Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: I my brother's keeper?
10And he said, What hast you done? the voice of your brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11And now you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
12When you tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
13And Cain said unto the Yahuah, My punishment greater than I can bear.
14Behold, you hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15And the Yahuah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Yahuah set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16And Cain went out from the presence of the Yahuah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and cattle.
21And his brother's name Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain Naamah.
23And 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.
24If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For Elohim, , has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Yahuah.
