Chapter 4
Gene UKJV 4:1  And Adam had sexual contact with Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have got a man from the LORD.
Gene UKJV 4:2  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Gene UKJV 4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Gene UKJV 4:4  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:
Gene UKJV 4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Gene UKJV 4:6  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
Gene UKJV 4:7  If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
Gene UKJV 4:8  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.
Gene UKJV 4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Gene UKJV 4:10  And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
Gene UKJV 4:11  And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand;
Gene UKJV 4:12  When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
Gene UKJV 4:13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Gene UKJV 4:14  Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your 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 finds me shall slay me.
Gene UKJV 4:15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Gene UKJV 4:16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Gene UKJV 4:17  And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Gene UKJV 4:18  And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad brings forth Mehujael: and Mehujael brings forth Methusael: and Methusael brings forth Lamech.
Gene UKJV 4:19  And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Gene UKJV 4:20  And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Gene UKJV 4:21  And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Gene UKJV 4:22  And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Gene UKJV 4:23  And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; all of you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Gene UKJV 4:24  If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Gene UKJV 4:25  And Adam had sexual contact with his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Gene UKJV 4:26  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.
