Genesis 4:1-15

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.
