Genesis 4
1 Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God.
2 And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.
And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.
And it was so after some time that Cain brought of the fruits of the earth a sacrifice to the Lord.
4 And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,
And Abel also brought of the first born of his sheep and of his fatlings, and God looked upon Abel and his gifts,
5 But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.
but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and Cain was exceedingly sorrowful and his countenance fell.
6 Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Why are you become very sorrowful and why is your countenance fallen?
7 If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
Hast you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.
8 Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.
And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us go out into the plain; and it came to pass that when they were in the plain Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?
And the Lord God said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
10 Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.
And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me out of the ground.
11 Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.
And now you [are] cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.
When you till the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to you: you shall be groaning and trembling on the earth.
13 Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.
And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime [is] too great for me to be forgiven.
14 Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
If you cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from your presence, and I shall be groaning and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall kill me.
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.
And the Lord God said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance; and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might kill him.
16 Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.
So Cain went forth from the presence of God and lived in the land of Nod over against Edem.
17 Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.
And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.
And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.
19 And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.
20 And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.
21 And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes.
And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the lute and harp.
22 And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.
And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema.
23 Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.
And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.
24 If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.
Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.
25 And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.
And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.
26 And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord.
And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.
