01:004:011 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened
her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
01:004:012 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.
01:004:013 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I
can bear.
01:004:014 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.
01:004:015 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.
01:004:016 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt
in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
01:004:017 And 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.
01:004:018 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
01:004:019 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was
Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
01:004:020 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in
tents, and of such as have cattle.
01:004:021 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all
such as handle the harp and organ.
01:004:022 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every
artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
01:004:023 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.
01:004:024 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold.
01:004:025 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called
his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed
instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
01:004:026 And 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 LORD.
01:005:001 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that
God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
01:005:002 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and
called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
01:005:003 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son
in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
01:005:004 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
01:005:005 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and
thirty years: and he died.
01:005:006 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
