4 Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, \u201cI have produced a man with the help of the Lord.\u201d 2 Next she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

\n

\u2026 8 Cain said to his brother Abel, \u201cLet us go out to the field.\u201d And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

\u2026 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, \u201cWhere is your brother Abel?\u201d He said, \u201cI do not know; am I my brother\u2019s keeper?\u201d 10 And the Lord said, \u201cWhat have you done? Listen; your brother\u2019s blood is crying out to me from the ground! 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother\u2019s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.\u201d 13 Cain said to the Lord, \u201cMy punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.\u201d 15 Then the Lord said to him, \u201cNot so! Whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.\u201d And the Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
