¹ And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.

³ And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.

⁴ And Abel gave an offering of the young lambs of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord was pleased with Abel's offering;

⁵ But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.

⁶ And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and Why is your face sad?

⁷ If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.

¹⁰ And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.

¹¹ And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

¹² No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.

¹³ And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.

¹⁴ You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.

¹⁵ And the Lord said, Truly, if Cain is put to death, seven lives will be taken for his. And the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one might put him to death.

²³ And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;

²⁴ If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

²⁵ And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.
