Berean Standard Bible
And the
man
knew
Eve
his wife, and she conceiveth
and beareth
Cain ,
and
saith,
`
I have gotten
a man by
Jehovah;'
And Adam
had
relations
with
his wife Eve
, and she conceived
and gave
birth
to
Cain .
“With
the
help
of
the
LORD
I have brought
forth
a man ,”
she
said.
and
she addeth
to bear
his
brother ,
even
Abel. And
Abel is
feeding
a flock
, and
Cain hath
been
servant
of the ground
.
Later
she gave
birth
to Cain’s
brother Abel. Now
Abel was
a keeper
of
sheep
, while
Cain was
a
tiller
of the soil
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass
at
the end
of days
that
Cain bringeth
from
the fruit of the ground
a
present
to Jehovah;
So
in
the course
of time,
Cain brought
some
of
the fruit of the soil
as
an
offering
to the
LORD,
and
Abel ,
he
hath
brought ,
he
also,
from
the female
firstlings
of his flock ,
even
from
their
fat
ones;
and Jehovah
looketh
unto
Abel and unto
his present
,
while
Abel brought the best
portions
of the
firstborn
of
his flock .
And the
LORD
looked
with
favor
on
Abel and his offering
,
and
unto
Cain and unto
his present
He
hath
not
looked;
and
it
is
very
displeasing
to
Cain, and his countenance is
fallen
.
but
He
had
no
regard
for
Cain and his offering.
So
Cain became
very
angry
, and his countenance fell
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Cain, `Why
hast
thou
displeasure?
and why hath
thy
countenance fallen?
“Why
are
you
angry,”
said
the
LORD
to
Cain, “
and why has
your
countenance fallen?
Is
there
not,
if thou
dost
well
, acceptance
? and
if thou
dost
not
well
, at
the
opening
a
sin -offering
is crouching ,
and
unto
thee
its
desire
, and
thou
rulest
over
it. '
If you
do
what
is
right
, will
you
not
be
accepted
? But
if you
refuse
to
do
what
is
right
, sin is crouching at
your
door;
it
desires
you
, but
you
must
master
it. ”
And
Cain saith
unto
Abel
his brother, ``
Let us go into
the field ;''
and it
cometh
to
pass
in
their
being
in the field, that
Cain riseth
up against Abel
his brother ,
and slayeth
him.
Then
Cain said
to
his brother Abel
, “
Let us go out
to
the field .”
And while
they
were
in the field, Cain rose
up against his brother Abel
and killed
him.
And Jehovah
saith
unto
Cain, `
Where `
is '
Abel
thy
brother? '
and
he
saith,
`
I have
not known;
my brother's
keeper --
I
? '
And the
LORD
said
to
Cain, “
Where is your
brother Abel
? ”
“
I do
not know!”
he
answered.
“Am
I
my brother’s
keeper? ”
And
He
saith,
`
What hast
thou
done? the voice of thy
brother's
blood is
crying
unto
Me from the ground ;
“
What have
you
done? ”
replied
the LORD.
“The
voice of your
brother’s
blood cries
out
to
Me from the ground .
and
now ,
cursed `art'
thou
from the ground, which hath
opened her
mouth to receive the
blood of
thy
brother
from thy
hand ;
Now you
are
cursed and
banished
from the ground, which has
opened its
mouth to receive your
brother’s
blood from your
hand .
when thou
tillest
the ground, it doth
not
add
to
give
its strength
to thee
--
a wanderer,
even
a trembling
one,
thou
art
in
the earth. '
When you
till
the ground, it will
no
longer
yield
its produce
to you.
You
will
be
a fugitive
and
a wanderer
on
the earth. ”
And
Cain saith
unto
Jehovah
, `Greater
is
my punishment than to
be
borne;
But
Cain said
to
the
LORD
, “
My punishment is
greater
than I
can
bear.
lo
, Thou
hast
driven me to-day
from off
the face of the ground
, and from Thy
face I am
hid
; and
I have
been
a wanderer,
even
a trembling
one,
in
the earth, and it
hath
been
--
every
one
finding
me doth
slay
me. '
Behold
, this
day
You
have
driven me from the face of the earth
, and from Your
face I will
be
hidden
; I will
be
a fugitive
and
a wanderer
on
the earth, and whoever
finds
me will
kill
me. ”
And
Jehovah
saith
to
him
, `Therefore
--
of
any
slayer
of
Cain sevenfold it
is
required;'
and Jehovah
setteth
to
Cain
a token
that none
finding
him doth
slay
him.
“Not
so!”
replied
the
LORD.
“If
anyone
slays
Cain
, then
Cain will
be
avenged
sevenfold .”
And the
LORD
placed
a mark
on
Cain,
so
that no
one
who
found
him would
kill
him.
And
Cain goeth
out from before
Jehovah,
and dwelleth
in the land, moving
about
east of Eden ;
So
Cain went
out from the
presence
of
the
LORD
and settled
in the land of
Nod
, east of Eden .
and Cain knoweth
his wife, and she conceiveth,
and beareth
Enoch ;
and
he
is
building
a city ,
and he
calleth
the
name
of
the
city,
according
to
the
name
of
his son --
Enoch.
And Cain had
relations
with
his wife, and she conceived
and gave
birth
to
Enoch .
Then
Cain
built
a city and named
it
after
his son Enoch.
And
born
to Enoch is
Irad ;
and Irad hath
begotten
Mehujael ;
and Mehujael hath
begotten
Methusael ;
and Methusael hath
begotten
Lamech.
Now
to Enoch was
born
Irad ,
and Irad was
the
father
of
Mehujael ,
and Mehujael was
the
father
of
Methusael ,
and Methusael was
the
father
of
Lamech.
And Lamech taketh
to
himself
two wives
, the
name
of
the
one Adah ,
and the name
of
the
second
Zillah.
And Lamech married
two women
, one named
Adah and the other
Zillah.
And
Adah beareth
Jabal ,
he hath
been
father of those inhabiting
tents and purchased
possessions;
Adah gave
birth
to
Jabal ;
he was
the
father of those who
dwell
in
tents and raise
livestock.
and the
name
of
his brother
`is'
Jubal ,
he hath
been
father of every
one
handling
harp and organ
.
And his brother’s
name
was
Jubal ;
he was
the
father of all
who
play
the
harp and flute
.
And Zillah she
also
bare
Tubal-Cain, an
instructor
of every artificer
in
brass
and iron ;
and a
sister of Tubal-Cain `is'
Naamah.
And Zillah gave
birth
to
Tubal-cain, a
forger
of every implement
of
bronze
and iron .
And the
sister of Tubal-cain was
Naamah.
And
Lamech saith
to his wives: --
`
Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give
ear
`
to '
my saying:
For a
man
I have slain for my
wound
, Even
a young man for my
hurt;
Then
Lamech said
to his wives: “
Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen
to my speech.
For I have slain a
man
for wounding
me
, a young man for striking
me.
For
sevenfold
is
required
for
Cain, And
for
Lamech seventy and
sevenfold. '
If
Cain is
avenged
sevenfold
, then
Lamech seventy -
sevenfold. ”
And Adam again knoweth
his wife, and she beareth
a son ,
and calleth
his
name
Seth, `for
God hath
appointed
for
me another seed instead
of Abel :'
for
Cain had
slain
him.
And Adam again had
relations
with
his wife, and she gave
birth
to
a son and named
him
Seth, saying,
“
God has
granted
me another seed in
place
of Abel ,
since
Cain killed
him. ”
And to Seth ,
to
him
also a son hath
been
born, and he calleth
his
name
Enos;
then
a
beginning
was
made
of
preaching
in
the name of Jehovah
.
And to Seth also a son was
born, and he called
him
Enosh.
At
that
time
men
began
to
call
upon
the name of the
LORD
.
