Genesis 4 - Israeli Authorized Version

¹ And Adam knew Havah his wife; and she conceived, and bare Kayin, and said, I have gotten a man from YY .

² And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Kayin was a tiller of the ground.

³ And in process of time it came to pass, that Kayin brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto YY .

⁴ And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And YY had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

⁵ But unto Kayin and to his offering he had not respect. And Kayin was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

⁶ And YY said unto Kayin, 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 Kayin talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Kayin rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

⁹ And YY said unto Kayin, 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 Kayin said unto YY , 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 YY said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Kayin, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And YY set a mark upon Kayin, lest any finding him should kill him.

¹⁶ And Kayin went out from the presence of YY , and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

¹⁷ And Kayin knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Hanokh: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Hanokh.

¹⁸ And unto Hanokh 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 TubalKayin, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of TubalKayin 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 Kayin 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 Shet: For Elohim, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Kayin slew.

²⁶ And to Shet, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of YY .
