Genesis 4

1

And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'

2

and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.

3

And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;

4

and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,

5

and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.

6

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?

7

Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'

8

And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, [`Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.

9

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?'

10

And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

11

and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;

12

when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

13

And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

14

lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.'

15

And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore -- of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.

16

23

And Lamech saith to his wives: -- `Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;

24

For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
