Gen 4 Flashcards
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived,
and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the
LORD.
1
And she again bare his brother Abel. And
Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the
ground.
2
And in process of time it came to pass, that
Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the
LORD.
3
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of
his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect
unto Abel and to his offering:
4
But unto Cain and to
his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth,
and his countenance fell.
5
And the LORD said unto
Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance
fallen?
6
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto
thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
7
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass,
when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel
his brother, and slew him.
8
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy
brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother’s
keeper?
9
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice
of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
10
And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which
hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from
thy hand;
11
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not
henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
12
And Cain said
unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
13
} Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the
face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall
be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come
to pass, [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me.
14
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever
slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him
should kill him.
