Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain. And she said, "I have given birth to a man with [the help of] Yahweh."

{Then she bore} his brother Abel. And Abel became a keeper of sheep, and Cain became a tiller of the ground.

And {in the course of time} Cain brought an offering from the fruit of the ground to Yahweh,

but to Cain and to his offering he did not look with favor. And Cain became very angry, and his face fell.

And Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why is your face fallen?

Then Cain said to his brother Abel, ["Let us go out into the field."] And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.

Then Yahweh said to Cain, "Where [is] Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

And Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment [is] greater than [I can] bear.

Then Yahweh said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold." Then Yahweh put a sign on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.

And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, and he settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And when he built a city {he named the city after his son, Enoch}.

Then Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain who forged all [kinds of] tools of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain [was] Naamah.

If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech [will be avenged] seventy and seven [times].

Then Adam knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son. And she called his name Seth, for [she said] "God has appointed to me another child in the place of Abel, because Cain killed him."
