every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. 004:001 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help." 004:002 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 004:003 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 004:004 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat of it. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 004:005 but he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 004:006 Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 004:007 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it." 004:008 Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him. 004:009 Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?" 004:010 Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. 004:011 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 004:012 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth." 004:013 Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear. 004:014 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me." 004:015 Yahweh said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him. 004:016 Cain went out from Yahweh's presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 004:017 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 004:018 To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. 004:019 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 004:020 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 004:021 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. 004:022 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting
