1 And Adam knew Life, his wife, and she will conceive and bear Cain, and said, I obtained a man of Jehovah. 2 And she will add to bear his brother Abel; and Abel shall be a feeder of sheep, and Cain was a laborer of the earth. 3 And it shall be at the end of days, and Cain shall bring in from the fruit of the earth an offering to Jehovah. 4 And Abel, he also brought in the first-born of his sheep, and their fat. And Jehovah will look to Abel and to his gift. 5 And to Cain and to his offering he looked not: and Cain will be very angry, and his countenance will fall. 6 And Jehovah will say to Cain, Why art thou angry, and why does thy countenance fall? 7 If thou shalt do well thou shalt be lifted up; and if thou shalt not do well, sin lies at the entrance; and to thee his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain will speak to Abel his brother; and it shall be in their being in the field, Cain will rise up against Abel his brother, and will kill him. 9 And Jehovah will say to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? and he will say, I know not: am I my brother's watcher?
