Adam and his wife Eve had sexual relations and Eve gave birth to a baby. The baby was named Cain. [24] Eve said, “With the Lord’s help, I have made a man!”
I will make you and the woman
enemies to each other.
Your children and her children
will be enemies.
You will bite her child’s foot,
but he will crush your head.”
The Lord God forced the man to leave the garden. Then he put Cherub angels [23] at the entrance to the garden to protect it. The Lord God also put a sword of fire there. This sword flashed around and around guarding the way to the tree of life.
Adam again had sexual relations with Eve. And Eve gave birth to another son. They named him Seth. [30] Eve said, “God has given me another son. Cain killed Abel, but now I have Seth.”
Now, kill all the Midianite boys. And kill all the Midianite women who had lived with a man. Kill all the Midianite women who have had sexual relations with any man.
Don’t be like Cain. {\cf2\super [10]} Cain belonged to the Evil One (the devil). Cain killed his brother \{Abel {\cf2\super [11]} \}. But why did Cain kill his brother? Because the things Cain did were evil, and the things his brother \{Abel\} did were good.
