¹ Adam had sexual intercourse with his wife Eve. She became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said: »With the help of Jehovah I have brought forth a man.« ² Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. ³ As time went by, Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to Jehovah. ⁴ But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn (firstlings) of his flock.

Why is your face downcast? ⁷ »If you do what is right, will not your attitude improve? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door.

I will be hidden from your presence. I will be a restless (homeless) wanderer on the earth. And whoever finds me will kill me.« ¹⁵ Jehovah replied to him: »If anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over.« Then Jehovah put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. ¹⁶ Cain went out from Jehovah’s presence and lived in the land of Nod (Fugitiveness).
