[1] The man knew§ Eve his wife. She conceived,§ and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” [2] Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. [3] As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. [4] Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, [5] but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. [6] Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? [7] If you do well, won’t it 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.” [8] Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him. [9] Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” [10] Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. [11] Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. [12] From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.” [13] Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. [14] Behold, you have driven me out today 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. Whoever finds me will kill me.” [15] Yahweh said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him. [16] Cain left Yahweh’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. [17] Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and named the city after the name of his son, Enoch. [18] Irad was born to Enoch. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. [19] Lamech took two wives: the name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah. [20] Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. [21] His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. [22] Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah. [23] Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice.
You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech,
for I have slain a man for wounding me,
a young man for bruising me.
 [24] If Cain will be avenged seven times,
truly Lamech seventy-seven times.” [25] Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, saying, “for God has given me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.” [26] A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on Yahweh’s name.

And the LordH3068 had respectH8159(QalImpf) unto AbelH1893 and to his offering:H4503 [5] But unto CainH7014 and to his offeringH4503 he had not respect.H8159(QalPerf) And CainH7014 was veryH3966 wroth,H2734(QalImpf) and his countenanceH6440 fell.H5307(QalImpf) [6] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Cain,H7014 Why art thou wroth?H2734(QalPerf) and why is thy countenanceH6440 fallen?H5307(QalPerf) [7] IfH518 thou doest well,H3190(HiphImpf) shalt thou not be accepted?H7613 and if thou doest not well,H3190(HiphImpf) sinH2403 liethH7257(QalActPtc) at the door.H6607 And unto thee [shall be] his desire,H8669 and thou shalt ruleH4910(QalImpf) over him. [8] And CainH7014 talkedH559(QalImpf) withH413 AbelH1893 his brother:H251 and it came to pass, when they were in the field,H7704 that CainH7014 rose upH6965(QalImpf) againstH413 AbelH1893 his brother,H251 and slew him.H2026(QalImpf) [9] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Cain,H7014 WhereH335 [is] AbelH1893 thy brother?H251 And he said,H559(QalImpf) I knowH3045(QalPerf) not: [Am] I my brother’sH251 keeper?H8104(QalActPtc) [10] And he said,H559(QalImpf) WhatH4100 hast thou done?H6213(QalPerf) the voiceH6963 of thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 criethH6817(QalActPtc) unto me from the ground.H127 [11] And now [art] thou cursedH779(QalPasPtc) from the earth,H127 which hath openedH6475(QalPerf) her mouthH6310 to receiveH3947(QalInf) thy brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from thy hand;H3027 [12] WhenH3588 thou tillestH5647(QalImpf) the ground,H127 it shall not henceforthH3254(HiphImpf) yieldH5414(QalInf) unto thee her strength;H3581 a fugitiveH5128(QalPtc) and a vagabondH5110(QalActPtc) shalt thou be in the earth.H776 [13] And CainH7014 saidH559(QalImpf) unto the Lord,H3068 My punishmentH5771 [is] greaterH1419 than I can bear.H5375(QalInf) [14] Behold, thou hast driven me outH1644(PielPerf) this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the earth;H127 and fromH5921 thy faceH6440 shall I be hid;H5641(NiphImpf) and I shall be a fugitiveH5128(QalPtc) and a vagabondH5110(QalActPtc) in the earth;H776 and it shall come to pass,H1961(QalPerf) [that] every one that findeth meH4672(QalActPtc) shall slay me.H2026(QalImpf) [15] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, ThereforeH3651 whosoever slayethH2026(QalActPtc) Cain,H7014 vengeance shall be takenH5358(HophImpf) on him sevenfold.H7659 And the LordH3068 setH7760(QalImpf) a markH226 upon Cain,H7014 lestH1115 any findingH4672(QalActPtc) him should killH5221(HiphInf) him. [16] And CainH7014 went outH3318(QalImpf) from the presenceH6440 of the Lord,H3068 and dweltH3427(QalImpf) in the landH776 of Nod,H5113 on the eastH6926 of Eden.H5731 [17] And CainH7014 knewH3045(QalImpf) his wife;H802 and she conceived,H2029(QalImpf) and bareH3205(QalImpf) Enoch:H2585 and he buildedH1129(QalActPtc) a city,H5892 and calledH7121(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of the city,H5892 after the nameH8034 of his son,H1121 Enoch.H2585 [18] And unto EnochH2585 was bornH3205(NiphImpf) Irad:H5897 and IradH5897 begatH3205(QalPerf) Mehujael:H4232 and MehujaelH4232 begatH3205(QalPerf) Methusael:H4967 and MethusaelH4967 begatH3205(QalPerf) Lamech.H3929 [19] And LamechH3929 tookH3947(QalImpf) unto him twoH8147 wives:H802 the nameH8034 of the oneH259 [was] Adah,H5711 and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 Zillah.H6741 [20] And AdahH5711 bareH3205(QalImpf) Jabal:H2989 he was the fatherH1 of such as dwellH3427(QalActPtc) in tents,H168 and [of such as have] cattle.H4735 [21] And his brother’sH251 nameH8034 [was] Jubal:H3106 he was the fatherH1 of all such as handleH8610(QalActPtc) the harpH3658 and organ.H5748 [22] And Zillah,H6741 she also bareH3205(QalPerf) Tubalcain,H8423 an instructerH3913(QalPasPtc) of every artificerH2794 in brassH5178 and iron:H1270 and the sisterH269 of TubalcainH8423 [was] Naamah.H5279 [23] And LamechH3929 saidH559(QalImpf) unto his wives,H802 AdahH5711 and Zillah,H6741 HearH8085(QalImpv) my voice;H6963 ye wivesH802 of Lamech,H3929 hearkenH238(HiphImpv) unto my speech:H565 for I have slainH2026(QalPerf) a manH376 to my wounding,H6482 and a young manH3206 to my hurt.H2250 [24] IfH3588 CainH7014 shall be avengedH5358(HophImpf) sevenfold,H7659 truly LamechH3929 seventyH7657 and sevenfold.H7651 [25] And AdamH120 knewH3045(QalImpf) his wifeH802 again;H5750 and she bareH3205(QalImpf) a son,H1121 and calledH7121(QalImpf) his nameH8034 Seth:H8352 For God,H430 [said she], hath appointedH7896(QalPerf) me anotherH312 seedH2233 insteadH8478 of Abel,H1893 whomH3588 CainH7014 slew.H2026(QalPerf) [26] And to Seth,H8352 to himH1931 also there was bornH3205(PualPerf) a son;H1121 and he calledH7121(QalImpf) his nameH8034 Enos:H583 then began menH2490(HophPerf) to callH7121(QalInf) upon the nameH8034 of the Lord.H3068
