4 and Abel, he also brings of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof: and Yah Veh looks to Abel and to his offering;
5 and to Qayin and to his offering he looks not: and Qayin inflames mightily and his face falls.
6 And Yah Veh says to Qayin, Why are you inflamed? and why is your face fallen?
7 If you well-please, and if you well-please not, sin crouches at the portal: and his desire is toward you; and you reign over him.
FIRST SLAUGHTER
8 And Qayin talks with Abel his brother: and so be it, in the field, Qayin rises against Abel his brother and slaughters him. 9 And Yah Veh says to Qayin, Where is Abel your brother? And he says, I know not! Am I the guardian of my brother? 10 And he says, What worked you? The voice of the blood of your brother cries to me from the soil: 11 and now you are cursed from the soil - which gapes her mouth to take the blood of your brother from your hand: 12 when you serve, the soil never again gives you her force; - being a waverer and a wanderer in the earth. 13 And Qayin says to Yah Veh, My perversity is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, you expel me this day from the face of the soil; and from your face I am hid; and I become a waverer and wanderer in the earth; and so be it, every one who finds me slaughters me. 15 And Yah Veh says to him, Thus whoever slaughters Qayin is avenged sevenfold. - and Yah Veh sets a sign on Qayin, lest any finding him smite him.
