Genesis 4:4-16

⁴and Abel offered of the first engendered of his flock, and of the fatness of those or them. And the Lord beheld to Abel and to the gifts of him;

⁵soothly he beheld not to Cain and to his gifts. And Cain was wroth greatly, and his cheer felled down.

⁶And the Lord said to him, Why art thou wroth, and why felled down thy face?

⁷Whether not if thou shalt do well, thou shalt receive well; but if thou doest evil, thy sin shall be present anon in the gates? but the desire thereof, that is, of sin, shall be under thee, and thou shalt be lord thereof.

⁸And Cain said to Abel, his brother, Go we out. And when they were in the field, Cain rose against his brother Abel, and killed him.

⁹And the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? Which answered, I know not; whether I am the keeper of my brother?

¹⁰And God said to Cain, What hast thou done? the voice of the blood of thy brother crieth to me from the earth.

¹¹Now therefore thou shalt be cursed on the earth, that opened his mouth, and received of thine hand the blood of thy brother.

¹²When thou shalt work the earth, it shall not give his fruits to thee; thou shalt be unstable of dwelling, and fleeing about on the earth, in all the days of thy life.

¹³And Cain said to the Lord, My wickedness is more than that I deserve forgiveness;

¹⁴lo! today thou castest me out from the face of the earth; and I shall be hid from thy face, and I shall be unstable of dwelling, and fleeing about in earth; therefore each man that shall find me shall slay me.

¹⁵And the Lord said to him, It shall not be done so, but each man that shall slay Cain shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a sign in Cain, that each man that should find him should not slay him.

¹⁶And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelled fleeing about in the earth, at the east coast of Eden, that is, of earthly paradise.
