Genesis [Origin] 4:4-16

⁴Abel Vanity, Mourning also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Adonai respected Abel Vanity, Mourning and his offering,

⁵but he didn’t respect Cain Acquisition and his offering. Cain Acquisition was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.

⁶Adonai said to Cain Acquisition, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

⁷If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”

⁸Cain Acquisition said to Abel Vanity, Mourning, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain Acquisition rose up against Abel Vanity, Mourning, his brother, and murdered him.

⁹Adonai said to Cain Acquisition, “Where is Abel Vanity, Mourning, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

¹⁰Adonai said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.

¹¹Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

¹²From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

¹³Cain Acquisition said to Adonai , “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

¹⁴Behold, you have divorced and driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

¹⁵Adonai said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain Acquisition, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Adonai appointed a sign for Cain Acquisition, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.

¹⁶Cain Acquisition left Adonai ’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden Delight.
