4:1 | And Adam <0120> knew <03045> (8804) <0853> Eve <02332> his wife <0802>; and she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) <0853> Cain <07014>, and said <0559> (8799), I have gotten <07069> (8804) a man <0376> from <0854> the LORD <03068>. {Cain: that is, Gotten, or, Acquired} |
4:2 | And she again <03254> (8686) bare <03205> (8800) his brother <0251> Abel <01893>. And Abel <01893> was a keeper <07462> (8802) of sheep <06629>, but Cain <07014> was a tiller <05647> (8802) of the ground <0127>. {Abel: Heb. Hebel} {a keeper: Heb. a feeder} |
4:3 | And in process <07093> of time <03117> it came to pass, that Cain <07014> brought <0935> (8686) of the fruit <06529> of the ground <0127> an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068>. {in process...: Heb. at the end of days} |
4:4 | And Abel <01893>, he <01931> also brought <0935> (8689) of the firstlings <01062> of his flock <06629> and of the fat <02459> thereof. And the LORD <03068> had respect <08159> (8799) unto Abel <01893> and to his offering <04503>: {flock: Heb. sheep, or, goats} |
4:5 | But unto Cain <07014> and to his offering <04503> he had not respect <08159> (8804). And Cain <07014> was very <03966> wroth <02734> (8799), and his countenance <06440> fell <05307> (8799). |
4:6 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Cain <07014>, Why art thou wroth <02734> (8804)? and why is thy countenance <06440> fallen <05307> (8804)? |
4:7 | If <0518> thou doest well <03190> (8686), shalt thou not be accepted <07613>? and if thou doest not well <03190> (8686), sin <02403> lieth <07257> (8802) at the door <06607>. And unto thee [shall be] his desire <08669>, and thou shalt rule <04910> (8799) over him. {be accepted: or, have the excellency} {unto...: or, subject unto thee} |
4:8 | And Cain <07014> talked <0559> (8799) with <0413> Abel <01893> his brother <0251>: and it came to pass, when they were in the field <07704>, that Cain <07014> rose up <06965> (8799) against <0413> Abel <01893> his brother <0251>, and slew him <02026> (8799). |
4:9 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Cain <07014>, Where <0335> [is] Abel <01893> thy brother <0251>? And he said <0559> (8799), I know <03045> (8804) not: [Am] I my brother's <0251> keeper <08104> (8802)? |
4:10 | And he said <0559> (8799), What <04100> hast thou done <06213> (8804)? the voice <06963> of thy brother's <0251> blood <01818> crieth <06817> (8802) unto me from the ground <0127>. {blood: Heb. bloods} |
4:11 | And now [art] thou cursed <0779> (8803) from the earth <0127>, which hath opened <06475> (8804) her mouth <06310> to receive <03947> (8800) thy brother's <0251> blood <01818> from thy hand <03027>; |
4:12 | When <03588> thou tillest <05647> (8799) the ground <0127>, it shall not henceforth <03254> (8686) yield <05414> (8800) unto thee her strength <03581>; a fugitive <05128> (8801) and a vagabond <05110> (8802) shalt thou be in the earth <0776>. |
4:13 | And Cain <07014> said <0559> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, My punishment <05771> [is] greater <01419> than I can bear <05375> (8800). {My...: or, Mine iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven} |
4:14 | Behold, thou hast driven me out <01644> (8765) this day <03117> from the face <06440> of the earth <0127>; and from <05921> thy face <06440> shall I be hid <05641> (8735); and I shall be a fugitive <05128> (8801) and a vagabond <05110> (8802) in the earth <0776>; and it shall come to pass <01961> (8804), [that] every one that findeth me <04672> (8802) shall slay me <02026> (8799). |
4:15 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Therefore <03651> whosoever slayeth <02026> (8802) Cain <07014>, vengeance shall be taken <05358> (8714) on him sevenfold <07659>. And the LORD <03068> set <07760> (8799) a mark <0226> upon Cain <07014>, lest <01115> any finding <04672> (8802) him should kill <05221> (8687) him. |
4:16 | And Cain <07014> went out <03318> (8799) from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in the land <0776> of Nod <05113>, on the east <06926> of Eden <05731>. |
4:17 | And Cain <07014> knew <03045> (8799) his wife <0802>; and she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) Enoch <02585>: and he builded <01129> (8802) a city <05892>, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of the city <05892>, after the name <08034> of his son <01121>, Enoch <02585>. {Enoch: Heb. Chanoch} |
4:18 | And unto Enoch <02585> was born <03205> (8735) Irad <05897>: and Irad <05897> begat <03205> (8804) Mehujael <04232>: and Mehujael <04232> begat <03205> (8804) Methusael <04967>: and Methusael <04967> begat <03205> (8804) Lamech <03929>. {Lamech: Heb. Lemech} |
4:19 | And Lamech <03929> took <03947> (8799) unto him two <08147> wives <0802>: the name <08034> of the one <0259> [was] Adah <05711>, and the name <08034> of the other <08145> Zillah <06741>. |
4:20 | And Adah <05711> bare <03205> (8799) Jabal <02989>: he was the father <01> of such as dwell <03427> (8802) in tents <0168>, and [of such as have] cattle <04735>. |
4:21 | And his brother's <0251> name <08034> [was] Jubal <03106>: he was the father <01> of all such as handle <08610> (8802) the harp <03658> and organ <05748>. |
4:22 | And Zillah <06741>, she also bare <03205> (8804) Tubalcain <08423>, an instructer <03913> (8803) of every artificer <02794> in brass <05178> and iron <01270>: and the sister <0269> of Tubalcain <08423> [was] Naamah <05279>. {instructer: Heb. whetter} |
4:23 | And Lamech <03929> said <0559> (8799) unto his wives <0802>, Adah <05711> and Zillah <06741>, Hear <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>; ye wives <0802> of Lamech <03929>, hearken <0238> (8685) unto my speech <0565>: for I have slain <02026> (8804) a man <0376> to my wounding <06482>, and a young man <03206> to my hurt <02250>. {I have...: or, I would slay a man in my wound, etc.} {to my hurt: or, in my hurt} |
4:24 | If <03588> Cain <07014> shall be avenged <05358> (8714) sevenfold <07659>, truly Lamech <03929> seventy <07657> and sevenfold <07651>. |
4:25 | And Adam <0120> knew <03045> (8799) his wife <0802> again <05750>; and she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Seth <08352>: For God <0430>, [said she], hath appointed <07896> (8804) me another <0312> seed <02233> instead <08478> of Abel <01893>, whom <03588> Cain <07014> slew <02026> (8804). {Seth: Heb. Sheth: that is Appointed, or, Put} |
4:26 | And to Seth <08352>, to him <01931> also there was born <03205> (8795) a son <01121>; and he called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Enos <0583>: then began men <02490> (8717) to call <07121> (8800) upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>. {Enos: Heb. Enosh} {to call...: or, to call themselves by the name of the Lord} |
