2And she againe bare his brother Abel, and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.2
3And in processe of time it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the ground, an offering vnto the LORD.3
4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flocke, and of the fat thereof: and the LORD had respect vnto Abel, and to his offering.4
6And the LORD said vnto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?
7If thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: And vnto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule ouer him.7
8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the field, that Cain rose vp against Abel his brother, and slew him.8
10And he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me, from the ground.10
13And Cain said vnto the LORD, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.13
17And Cain knew his wife, and she conceiued and bare Enoch, and hee builded a City, and called the name of the City, after the name of his sonne, Enoch.17
18And vnto Enoch was borne Irad: and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methusael, and Methusael begate Lamech.18
20And Adah bare Iabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as haue cattell.
21And his brothers name was Iubal: hee was the father of all such as handle the harpe and organ.
22And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructer of euery artificer in brasse and iron: and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.22
23And Lamech sayd vnto his wiues, Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, yee wiues of Lamech, hearken vnto my speech: for I haue slaine a man to my wounding, and a yong man to my hurt.23
24If Cain shall bee auenged seuen fold, truely Lamech seuenty and seuen folde.
25¶ And Adam knew his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, & called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed mee another seed in stead of Abel, whom Cain slew.25
26And to Seth, to him also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enos: then began men to call vpon the Name of the LORD.26
