1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and shebecame pregnant and gave birth to Cain.She said, "With the help of the Lord Ihave brought forth a man."2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain workedthe soil.3 In the course of time Cain broughtsome of the fruits of the soil as anoffering to the Lord .4 But Abel brought fat portions fromsome of the firstborn of his flock. TheLord looked with favor on Abel and hisoffering,5 but on Cain and his offering he did notlook with favor. So Cain was very angry,and his face was downcast.6 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why areyou angry? Why is your face downcast?7 If you do what is right, will you not beaccepted? But if you do not do what isright, sin is crouching at your door; itdesires to have you, but you mustmaster it."8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel,"Let's go out to the field." And while theywere in the field, Cain attacked hisbrother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where isyour brother Abel?" "I don't know," hereplied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 The Lord said, "What have you done?Listen! Your brother's blood cries out tome from the ground.11 Now you are under a curse and drivenfrom the ground, which opened itsmouth to receive your brother's bloodfrom your hand.12 When you work the ground, it will nolonger yield its crops for you. You will bea restless wanderer on the earth."13 Cain said to the Lord , "My punishmentis more than I can bear.14 Today you are driving me from theland, and I will be hidden from yourpresence; I will be a restless wandereron the earth, and whoever finds me willkill me."15 But the Lord said to him, "Not so ; ifanyone kills Cain, he will suffervengeance seven times over." Then theLord put a mark on Cain so that no onewho found him would kill him.16 So Cain went out from the Lord 'spresence and lived in the land of Nod,east of Eden.17 Cain lay with his wife, and she becamepregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cainwas then building a city, and he namedit after his son Enoch.18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad wasthe father of Mehujael, and Mehujaelwas the father of Methushael, andMethushael was the father of Lamech.19 Lamech married two women, onenamed Adah and the other Zillah.20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was thefather of those who live in tents andraise livestock.21 His brother's name was Jubal; he wasthe father of all who play the harp andflute.22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, whoforged all kinds of tools out of bronzeand iron.

I have killed a man forwounding me, a young man for injuringme.24 If Cain is avenged seven times, thenLamech seventy-seven times."25 Adam lay with his wife again, and shegave birth to a son and named him Seth,saying, "God has granted me anotherchild in place of Abel, since Cain killedhim."26 Seth also had a son, and he namedhim Enosh.
