Genesis 4:8-15 ▼

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?

10 And he will say, What didst thou? the voice of thy brother's bloods, crying out to me from the earth.

11 And now cursed art thou, from the earth, which opened her mouth to take thy brother's bloods from thy hand.

12 When thou shalt work the earth she shall not add to give her strength to thee. Wandering and fleeing shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain will say to Jehovah, My sin is great, above bearing.

14 Lo, thou didst drive me out this day from above the face of the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be wandering and fleeing in the earth; and it shall be, every one finding me will kill me.

15 And Jehovah will say to him, Therefore, every one killing Cain, he shall be avenged seven fold. And Jehovah will put a sign upon Cain, lest any finding him, smite him.
