MLV(i)
8 And Cain told Abel his brother. And it happened, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 And Jehovah 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 to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it will not again yield to you its strength. You will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.
13 And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground and I will be hid from your face and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer in the earth. And it will happen, that whoever finds me will kill me. 15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone who found him should not kill* him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bore Enoch. And Cain built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And Irad was born to Enoch and Irad fathered Mehujael and Mehujael fathered Methushael and Methushael fathered Lamech.
19 And Lamech took to him two wives. The name of the one was Adah and the name of the other was Zillah. 20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle. 21 And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who handle the harp and pipe. 22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, you*, the wives of Lamech, listen to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me and a young man for bruising me.
10 And he said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it will not again yield to you its strength. You will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.
