   Genesis Chapter 4   
      
   1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and   
   said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.   
      
   2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep,   
   but Cain was a tiller of the ground.   
      
   3 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, 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 unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was   
   very wroth, and his countenance fell.   
      
   6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy   
   countenance fallen?   
      
   7 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 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 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I   
   know not: Am I my brother's keeper?   
      
   10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood   
   crieth unto me from the ground.   
      
   11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth   
   to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;   
      
   12 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 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.   
      
   14 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 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 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the   
   land of Nod, on the east of Eden.   
      
   17 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 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael   
   begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.   
      
   19 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 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as   
   handle the harp and organ.   
      
   22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer   
   in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.   
      
   23 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 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.   
      
   25 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 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.

   21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:   
      
   22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred   
   years, and begat sons and daughters:   
      
   23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:   
      
   24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.   
      
   25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:

   1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the   
   earth, and daughters were born unto them,   
      
   2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and   
   they took them wives of all which they chose.   
      
   3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for   
   that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.   
      
   4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,   
   when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare   
   children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of
