Cain Murders Abel
Adam and Eve had a son. Then Eve said, “I'll name him Cain because I got him with the help of the Lord.”
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 Later she had another son and named him Abel. Abel became a sheep farmer, but Cain farmed the land. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the Lord, And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 and Abel also gave an offering to the Lord. He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lord the best parts of it. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 but not with Cain and his offering. This made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 The Lord said to Cain: What's wrong with you? Why do you look so angry? And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling. But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it! If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go for a walk.” And when they were out in a field, Cain attacked and killed him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 Afterwards the Lord asked Cain, “Where is Abel?” “How should I know?” he answered. “Am I supposed to look after my brother?” And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10 Then the Lord said: Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed onto the ground. Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And so, I'll put you under a curse. Because you killed Abel and made his blood run out on the ground, you will never be able to farm it again. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 When you try to farm the land, it won't produce anything for you. From now on, you'll be without a home, and you'll spend the rest of your life wandering from place to place. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 “This punishment is too hard!” Cain said. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 “You're making me leave my home and live far from you. I will have to wander about without a home, and just anyone could kill me.” Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 “No!” the Lord answered. “Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you.” So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn everyone not to kill him. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 But Cain had to go far from the Lord and live in the Land of Wandering, which is east of Eden. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

More and More People
Later, Cain and his wife had a son named Enoch. At the time Cain was building a town, and so he named it Enoch after his son.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 Then Enoch had a son named Irad, who had a son named Mehujael, who had a son named Methushael, who had a son named Lamech. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 Lamech married Adah, then Zillah. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 — And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 Lamech and Adah had two sons, Jabal and Jubal. Their son Jabal was the first to live in tents and raise sheep and goats. Jubal was the first to play harps and flutes. And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 Lamech and Zillah had a son named Tubal Cain who made tools out of bronze and iron. They also had a daughter, whose name was Naamah. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah.
23 One day, Lamech said to his two wives, “A young man wounded me, and I killed him. And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 Anyone who tries to get even with me will be punished ten times more than anyone who tries to get even with Cain.” If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 Adam and his wife had another son. They named him Seth, because they said, “God has given us a son to take the place of Abel, who was killed by his brother Cain.” And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 Later, Seth had a son and named him Enosh. About this time people started worshiping the Lord. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.
