Genesis 4:1-7 ▼

1 And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde.

2 And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman.

3 And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde.

4 And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge:

5 but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured.

6 And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it?

7 But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.
