Genesis 4:1-15
Now Adam KNEW Eve, His Wife, and She (Eve) CONCEIVED
and BORE Cain, and said, “I (Eve) have acquired a man from The LORD (GOD
Almighty).” Then She (Eve) BORE again,
this time His (Cain’s) Brother, Abel. Now Abel was a Keeper of Sheep, but Cain was a
Tiller of The Ground. And in The Process
of Time it came to pass that Cain BROUGHT an Offering of The Fruit of The
Ground to The LORD (GOD Almighty). Abel also BROUGHT of The Firstborn of His
(Abel’s) Flock and of Their Fat. And The
LORD (GOD Almighty) RESPECTED Abel and His (Abel’s) Offering, but He (GOD
Almighty) did NOT RESPECT Cain and His (Cain’s) Offering. And Cain was Very Angry, and His (Cain’s) Countenance
FELL.
So The LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID to Cain, “Why are YOU
Angry? And why has Your (Cain’s) Countenance
FALLEN? IF YOU (Cain) DO WELL, will YOU
(Cain) NOT be ACCEPTED? And IF YOU
(Cain) do NOT DO WELL, sin LIES at The Door.
And its (sin’s) Desire is
FOR YOU (Cain), but YOU (Cain) should RULE OVER it (sin).”
Now Cain talked with Abel, His Brother; and it came to
pass, when They (Cain and Abel) were in The Field, that Cain Rose Up AGAINST
Abel, His (Cain’s) Brother and KILLED Him (Abel).
Then The LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID to Cain, “Where is Abel, Your (Cain’s) Brother?” He (Cain) said, “I do NOT know. Am
I My Brother’s Keeper?” And He (GOD
Almighty) SAID, “What have YOU (Cain) done?
The Voice of Your (Cain’s) Brother’s (Abel’s) Blood CRIES OUT to Me (GOD
Almighty), from The Ground. So NOW, YOU
(Cain) are CURSED from The Earth,
which has Opened its Mouth to RECEIVE Your (Cain’s) Brother’s (Abel’s) Blood,
from Your (Cain’s) Hand. When YOU (Cain)
till the ground, it shall NO longer yield its strength to YOU (Cain). A FUGITIVE and a VAGABOND, YOU (Cain) shall
be on The Earth.” And Cain said to The
LORD (GOD Almighty), “My (Cain’s) Punishment is Greater than I can BEAR!
Surely YOU (GOD Almighty) have DRIVEN me (Cain) OUT This Day, from The
Face of The Ground; I (Cain) shall be HIDDEN from Your (GOD Almighty’s) Face; I
(Cain) shall be a FUGITIVE and a VAGABOND on The Earth, and it will happen that ANYONE who finds me (Cain) will KILL
me (Cain).” And
The LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID to Him (Cain), “Therefore, whoever KILLS Cain, VENGEANCE
shall be TAKEN on him (whoever kills Cain) Sevenfold.” And The LORD (GOD Almighty) SET A MARK on
Cain, lest anyone finding Him (Cain) should KILL Him (Cain).
Genesis 4:16-24
Then Cain went out from The Presence
of The LORD (GOD Almighty) and DWELT in The Land of Nod on The East of Eden. And Cain KNEW His Wife, and She CONCEIVED and
BORE Enoch. And He (Cain) BUILT a City,
and Called The Name of The City after The Name of His (Cain’s) Son, Enoch. To Enoch was BORN Irad; and Irad BEGOT
Mehujael, and Mehujael BEGOT Methushael, and Methushael BEGOT Lamech.
Then Lamech TOOK for Himself Two
Wives: The Name of One was
Adah, and The Name of The Second was
Zillah. And Adah BORE Jabal. He (Jabal) was The Father of Those who DWELL
in Tents and have Livestock. His (Jabal’s)
Brother’s Name was Jubal. He (Jubal) was The Father of All Those who
PLAY The Harp and Flute. And as for
Zillah, She (Zillah) also BORE Tubal-Cain, an Instructor of Every Craftsman in
bronze and iron. And The Sister of
Tubal-Cain was Naamah. Then Lamech said to His Wives: “Adah and
Zillah, HEAR My (Lamech’s) Voice; Wives of Lamech, LISTEN to My (Lamech’s) Speech! For I (Lamech) have KILLED a man for wounding
me (Lamech), even a young man for hurting me (Lamech). If Cain shall be AVENGED Sevenfold, then
Lamech Seventy-Sevenfold.”
