But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn (firstlings) of his flock. Jehovah looked with favor on Abel and his offering. He did not look with favor on Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face was downcast (he had a bad attitude). Jehovah said to Cain: Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will not your attitude improve? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door. It desires to have you, but you must master it. While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Jehovah asked Cain: Where is your brother Abel? I do not know, he replied. Am I my brother's keeper? Jehovah said: What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood (life) cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer (vagabond) on the earth. Cain said to Jehovah: My punishment is more than I can bear. You are driving me from the land today. I will be hidden from your presence. I will be a restless (homeless) wanderer on the earth. And whoever finds me will kill me. Jehovah replied to him: If anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over. Then Jehovah put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
