4:1 And Adam 120 knew 3045 8804 853 Eve 2332 his wife 802; and she conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 853 Cain 7014, and said 559 8799, I have gotten 7069 8804 a man 376 from 854 the LORD 3068.(Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired)

4:2 And she again 3254 8686 bare 3205 8800 his brother 251 Abel 1893. And Abel 1893 was a keeper 7462 8802 of sheep 6629, but Cain 7014 was a tiller 5647 8802 of the ground 127.(Abel: Heb. Hebel)(a keeper: Heb. a feeder)

4:3 And in process 7093 of time 3117 it came to pass, that Cain 7014 brought 935 8686 of the fruit 6529 of the ground 127 an offering 4503 unto the LORD 3068.(in process…: Heb. at the end of days)

4:4 And Abel 1893, he 1931 also brought 935 8689 of the firstlings 1062 of his flock 6629 and of the fat 2459 thereof. And the LORD 3068 had respect 8159 8799 unto Abel 1893 and to his offering 4503:(flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats)

4:5 But unto Cain 7014 and to his offering 4503 he had not respect 8159 8804. And Cain 7014 was very 3966 wroth 2734 8799, and his countenance 6440 fell 5307 8799.

4:6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Cain 7014, Why art thou wroth 2734 8804? and why is thy countenance 6440 fallen 5307 8804?

4:7 If 518 thou doest well 3190 8686, shalt thou not be accepted 7613? and if thou doest not well 3190 8686, sin 2403 lieth 7257 8802 at the door 6607. And unto thee [shall be] his desire 8669, and thou shalt rule 4910 8799 over him.(be accepted: or, have the excellency)(unto…: or, subject unto thee)

4:8 And Cain 7014 talked 559 8799 with 413 Abel 1893 his brother 251: and it came to pass, when they were in the field 7704, that Cain 7014 rose up 6965 8799 against 413 Abel 1893 his brother 251, and slew him 2026 8799.

4:9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Cain 7014, Where 335 [is] Abel 1893 thy brother 251? And he said 559 8799, I know 3045 8804 not: [Am] I my brother's 251 keeper 8104 8802?

4:10 And he said 559 8799, What 4100 hast thou done 6213 8804? the voice 6963 of thy brother's 251 blood 1818 crieth 6817 8802 unto me from the ground 127.(blood: Heb. bloods)

4:11 And now [art] thou cursed 779 8803 from the earth 127, which hath opened 6475 8804 her mouth 6310 to receive 3947 8800 thy brother's 251 blood 1818 from thy hand 3027;

4:12 When 3588 thou tillest 5647 8799 the ground 127, it shall not henceforth 3254 8686 yield 5414 8800 unto thee her strength 3581; a fugitive 5128 8801 and a vagabond 5110 8802 shalt thou be in the earth 776.

4:13 And Cain 7014 said 559 8799 unto the LORD 3068, My punishment 5771 [is] greater 1419 than I can bear 5375 8800.(My…: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven)

4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out 1644 8765 this day 3117 from the face 6440 of the earth 127; and from 5921 thy face 6440 shall I be hid 5641 8735; and I shall be a fugitive 5128 8801 and a vagabond 5110 8802 in the earth 776; and it shall come to pass 1961 8804, [that] every one that findeth me 4672 8802 shall slay me 2026 8799.

4:15 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, Therefore 3651 whosoever slayeth 2026 8802 Cain 7014, vengeance shall be taken 5358 8714 on him sevenfold 7659. And the LORD 3068 set 7760 8799 a mark 226 upon Cain 7014, lest 1115 any finding 4672 8802 him should kill 5221 8687 him.

4:16 And Cain 7014 went out 3318 8799 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, and dwelt 3427 8799 in the land 776 of Nod 5113, on the east 6926 of Eden 5731.

4:17 And Cain 7014 knew 3045 8799 his wife 802; and she conceived 2029 8799, and bare 3205 8799 Enoch 2585: and he builded 1129 8802 a city 5892, and called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of the city 5892, after the name 8034 of his son 1121, Enoch 2585.(Enoch: Heb. Chanoch)

4:18 And unto Enoch 2585 was born 3205 8735 Irad 5897: and Irad 5897 begat 3205 8804 Mehujael 4232: and Mehujael 4232 begat 3205 8804 Methusael 4967: and Methusael 4967 begat 3205 8804 Lamech 3929.(Lamech: Heb. Lemech)

4:19 And Lamech 3929 took 3947 8799 unto him two 8147 wives 802: the name 8034 of the one 259 [was] Adah 5711, and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Zillah 6741.

4:20 And Adah 5711 bare 3205 8799 Jabal 2989: he was the father 1 of such as dwell 3427 8802 in tents 168, and [of such as have] cattle 4735.

4:21 And his brother's 251 name 8034 [was] Jubal 3106: he was the father 1 of all such as handle 8610 8802 the harp 3658 and organ 5748.

4:22 And Zillah 6741, she also bare 3205 8804 Tubalcain 8423, an instructer 3913 8803 of every artificer 2794 in brass 5178 and iron 1270: and the sister 269 of Tubalcain 8423 [was] Naamah 5279.(instructer: Heb. whetter)

4:23 And Lamech 3929 said 559 8799 unto his wives 802, Adah 5711 and Zillah 6741, Hear 8085 8798 my voice 6963; ye wives 802 of Lamech 3929, hearken 238 8685 unto my speech 565: for I have slain 2026 8804 a man 376 to my wounding 6482, and a young man 3206 to my hurt 2250.(I have…: or, I would slay a man in my wound, etc)(to my hurt: or, in my hurt)

4:24 If 3588 Cain 7014 shall be avenged 5358 8714 sevenfold 7659, truly Lamech 3929 seventy 7657 and sevenfold 7651.

4:25 And Adam 120 knew 3045 8799 his wife 802 again 5750; and she bare 3205 8799 a son 1121, and called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Seth 8352: For God 430, [said she], hath appointed 7896 8804 me another 312 seed 2233 instead 8478 of Abel 1893, whom 3588 Cain 7014 slew 2026 8804.(Seth: Heb. Sheth: that is Appointed, or, Put)

4:26 And to Seth 8352, to him 1931 also there was born 3205 8795 a son 1121; and he called 7121 8799 his name 8034 Enos 583: then began men 2490 8717 to call 7121 8800 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.(Enos: Heb. Enosh)(to call…: or, to call themselves by the name of the Lord)
