Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ And Cain talked with Abell his brother. And it happened, that whan they were in the felde, Cain arose agaynst Abell his brother, and slew him. ⁹ Then sayde the LORDE vnto Cain: Where is Abell thy brother? He sayde: I can not tell. Am I my brothers keper? ¹⁰ And he sayde: What hast thou done? The voyce of thy brothers bloude crieth vnto me out of the earth. ¹¹ And now shalt thou be cursed vpon the earth, which hath opened hir mouth, and receaued thy brothers bloude of thine hande. ¹² Whan thou tyllest ye grounde, she shall hensforth not geue hir power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon ye earth. ¹³ And Cain sayde vnto ye LORDE: my synne is greater, then that it maye be forgeuen me. ¹⁴ Beholde, thou castest me out this daye from out of ye londe, and from yi sight must I hyde myself, and must be a vagabunde and a rennagate vpon ye earth. And thus shal it go with me: that who so fyndeth me, shal slaye me. ¹⁵ But the LORDE sayde thus vnto him: Who so euer slayeth Cain, it shalbe auenged seuenfolde. And the LORDE put a marck vpon Cain, that no man which founde him, shulde kyll him. ¹⁶ So Cain wente out from ye face of the LORDE, and dwelt in the lande Nod, vpon the east syde of Eden. ¹⁷ And Cain laye with his wyfe, which conceaued and bare Henoch. And he buylded a cite, and called it after the name of his sonne Henoch. ¹⁸ And Henoch begat Irad, Irad begat Mahuiael. Mahuiael begat Mathusael. Mathusael begat Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech toke him two wyues: ye one was called Ada, & the other Zilla. ²⁰ And Ada bare Iabel, of whom came they that dwelt in tentes and had catell. ²¹ And his brothers name was Iuball: Of him came they that occupied harpes & pypes. ²² And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain, a worker in all connynge poyntes of metall & yron. And Tubalcains sister was called Naema. ²³ And Lamech sayde vnto his wyues Ada and Zilla: Heare my voyce (ye wyues of Lamech) and herken vnto my wordes: for I haue slayne a man, and wounded my selfe: and (haue kylled) a yonge man, and gotte my self strypes.
