2
Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering,
5
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
5
but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
6
So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
7
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
"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire [is] for you, but you should rule over it."
8
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.

Now 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 killed him.
9
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
9
Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where [is] Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. [Am] I my brother's keeper?"
10
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
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 art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
11
"So now you [are] cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12
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
"When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth."
13
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
13
And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment [is] greater than I can bear!
14
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
"Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen [that] anyone who finds me will kill me."
15
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.

23
Then Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me.

If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
