Cain And Abel

Now the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man with the LORD." And she bore again, his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in the course of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD. And Abel, he too brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering, but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. And Cain was very angry, and his face fell. And the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? Surely, if you do well, there is uplifting; and if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door, and its desire is for you, but you may rule over it." And Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. And the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you; a fugitive and a wanderer shall you be on the earth." And Cain said to the LORD, "My iniquity is too great to bear. Behold, You have driven me out this day from upon the face of the ground, and from Your face I shall be hidden, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and it shall come to pass that whoever finds me will kill me." And the LORD said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD set a sign for Cain, so that whoever found him should not strike him. And Cain went out from before the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
