5 but he did not look upon Cain and his gift. Cain was greatly grieved, and his face drooped.

6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you grieved? And why is thy face drooping?

7 If you do good, do you not lift up your face? but if you do not do good, then sin lies at the door; he draws you to himself, but you have dominion over him.

8 And Cain said to Abel his brother, 'Let us go into the field.' And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him.

9 And the Lord said to Cain, 'Where is Abel your brother?' And he said, I do not know; Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, 'What have you done?' the voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground;

11 And now thou art cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.

12 And when thou hast tilled the earth, it shall no more give its strength unto thee; you will be an exile and a wanderer on earth.

13 And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear;

14 Behold, thou hast now driven me out of the face of the earth, and from thy presence I shall be hidden, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth; and whosoever shall meet me shall slay me.

15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain shall be avenged with all his might. And the Lord [God] made a sign unto Cain, that no man should meet him and kill him.

16 And Cain departed from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

18 And Enoch begat Irad [Haidad]; Irad begat Mechiael [Mahalaleel]; Mechiael begat Methuselah; Methuselah begat Lamech.
