RF GEN 4:1 The First Man Child—Births of Cain and Abel.
The man afterwards knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have been given a man from the EVER-LIVING."
RF GEN 4:2 She afterwards gave birth to his brother Abel.1 And Abel became a shepherd of sheep; but Cain was a cultivator of the soil.
RF GEN 4:3 And during the harvest time Cain brought some of the produce of the ground as an offering to the EVER-LIVING.
RF GEN 4:4 And Abel also brought of the best and the fattest of his sheep. And the LORD looked favorably upon Abel and his offering;
RF GEN 4:5 but He did not regard Cain and his offering with favour. Cain therefore was very angry, and his countenance fell.
RF GEN 4:6 Then the EVER-LIVING asked Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?
RF GEN 4:7 If you do right, is there not approval? and if you do not do right, Sin crouches at the door and awaits you; but you should conquer it."
RF GEN 4:8 The Murder of Abel.
When Cain was afterwards talking with his brother Abel, and they were together in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel, and murdered him.
RF GEN 4:9 The LORD accordingly asked Cain "Where is your brother Abel?" But he replied, "I do not know;—am I my brother's keeper?"
RF GEN 4:10 The EVER-LIVING however answered, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me from the ground.
RF GEN 4:11 Therefore you are cursed from the ground, which has opened her mouth to take in your brother's blood from your hand.
RF GEN 4:12 When you cultivate the ground it shall not yield up its wealth to you; you shall be a wanderer and vagabond upon the earth."
RF GEN 4:13 But Cain answered to the LORD, "My punishment is heavier than I can bear.
RF GEN 4:14 Since You drive me to-day out from off the face of this land, I shall be deprived of Your presence, and be a wanderer and a vagabond upon the earth; and whoever meets me will kill me."
RF GEN 4:15 But the EVER-LIVING replied, "Not so; whoever kills Cain shall be punished sevenfold." Therefore the LORD put a mark upon Cain, so that he might not be attacked by anyone who met him.

1 The Hebrew form of "Abel" is "Hebel."
RF GEN 4:16 Cain accordingly went out from the presence of the EVER-LIVING, and lived in a land of exile on the eastern side of Eden,
RF GEN 4:17 where Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and gave birth to Enok, and he built a village, and named it after the name of his son, Hanok.1
RF GEN 4:18 And to Hanok there was born Irad; and Irad produced Mehujael; and Mehujael produced Methusael; and Methusael produced Lemek.
RF GEN 4:19 And Lemek took two wives for himself; the name of one was Ada, and the name of the other Zillah.
RF GEN 4:20 And Ada gave birth to Jabal, who was the originator of tent-dwellers with cattle.
RF GEN 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the originator of all those who play the harp and wind instruments
RF GEN 4:22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain, the improver of every work in copper and iron; and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Namah.
RF GEN 4:23 And Lemek addressing his wives said:
"Ada and Zillah listen to my voice;
Wives of Lemek listen to my speech;
For I killed a man who wounded;
And a youth who hurt me.—
RF GEN 4:24 If Cain had sevenfold protection,
Seventy-seven should be that of Lemek!"
RF GEN 4:25 Birth of Seth.
And Adam knew his wife again, she gave birth to a son, and named him Sheth;2 "for God," she said, "has given me another son in the place of Abel, who was murdered by Cain."
RF GEN 4:26 And to Sheth, a son was born; and he gave him the name of Enosh.3 Men then began to call upon the name of the EVER-LIVING.
