01:003:015 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.
01:003:016 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow
and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
01:003:017 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
01:003:018 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
01:003:019 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.
01:003:020 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
mother of all living.
01:003:021 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats
of skins, and clothed them.
01:003:022 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of
us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and
take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
01:003:023 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
01:003:024 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way,
to keep the way of the tree of life.
01:004:001 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
01:004:002 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper
of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
01:004:003 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of
the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
01:004:004 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:
01:004:005 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And
Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
01:004:006 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is
thy countenance fallen?
01:004:007 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.
01:004:008 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.
01:004:009 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And
he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
01:004:010 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's
blood crieth unto me from the ground.
