ASV_Strong : Genesis 4
1. And the man[H120] knew[H3045] Eve[H2332] his wife[H802]; and she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205] Cain[H7014], and said[H559], I have gotten[H7069] a man[H376] with the help[H854] of Jehovah[H3068].
2. And again[H3254] she bare[H3205] his brother[H251] Abel[H1893]. And Abel[H1893] was a keeper[H7462] of sheep[H6629], but Cain[H7014] was a tiller[H5647] of the ground[H127].
3. And in process[H7093] of time[H3117] it came to pass[H7014], that Cain brought[H935] of the fruit[H6529] of the ground[H127] an offering[H4503] unto Jehovah[H3068].
4. And Abel[H1893], he[H1931] also brought[H935] of the firstlings[H1062] of his flock[H6629] and of the fat[H2459] thereof[H3068]. And Jehovah had respect[H8159] unto Abel[H1893] and to his offering[H4503]:
5. but unto Cain[H7014] and to his offering[H4503] he had not respect[H8159]. And Cain[H7014] was very[H3966] wroth[H2734], and his countenance[H6440] fell[H5307].
6. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Cain[H7014], Why art thou wroth[H2734]? and why is thy countenance[H6440] fallen[H5307]?
7. If[H518] thou doest well[H3190], shall it not be lifted[H7613] up[H3190]? and if thou doest not well, sin[H2403] coucheth[H7257] at the door[H6607]; and unto thee shall be its desire[H8669]; but do thou rule over it[H4910].
8. And Cain[H7014] told[H559] Abel[H1893] his[H413] brother[H251]. And it came to pass[H7704], when they were in the field, that Cain[H7014] rose up[H6965] against[H413] Abel[H1893] his brother[H251], and slew him[H2026].
9. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Cain[H7014], Where[H335] is Abel[H1893] thy brother[H251]? And he said[H559], I know[H3045] not[H251]: am I my brother's keeper[H8104]?
10. And he said[H559], What[H4100] hast thou done[H6213]? the voice[H6963] of thy brother[H251]'s blood[H1818] crieth[H6817] unto me from the ground[H127].
11. And now cursed[H779] art thou from the ground[H127], which hath opened[H6475] its mouth[H6310] to receive[H3947] thy brother[H251]'s blood[H1818] from thy hand[H3027];
12. when[H3588] thou tillest[H5647] the ground[H127], it shall not henceforth[H3254] yield[H5414] unto thee its strength[H3581]; a fugitive[H5128] and a wanderer[H5110] shalt thou be in the earth[H776].
13. And Cain[H7014] said[H559] unto Jehovah[H3068], My punishment[H5771] is greater[H1419] than I can bear[H5375].
14. Behold[H1644], thou hast driven me out this day[H3117] from the face[H6440] of the ground[H127]; and from[H5921] thy face[H6440] shall I be hid[H5641]; and I shall be a fugitive[H5128] and a wanderer[H5110] in the earth[H776]; and it will come to pass[H1961], that whosoever findeth me[H2026] will slay me[H2026].
15. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto him[H3651], Therefore whosoever slayeth[H2026] Cain[H7014], vengeance shall be taken[H5358] on him sevenfold[H7659]. And Jehovah[H3068] appointed[H7760] a sign[H226] for Cain[H7014], lest[H1115] any finding[H4672] him should smite him[H5221].
16. And Cain[H7014] went out[H3318] from the presence[H6440] of Jehovah[H3068], and dwelt[H3427] in the land[H776] of Nod[H5113], on the east[H6926] of Eden[H5731].
17. And Cain[H7014] knew[H3045] his wife[H802]; and she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205] Enoch[H2585]: and he builded[H1129] a city[H5892], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the city[H5892], after the name[H8034] of his son[H1121], Enoch[H2585].
18. And unto Enoch[H2585] was born[H3205] Irad[H5897]: and Irad[H5897] begat[H3205] Mehujael[H4232]; and Mehujael[H4232] begat[H3205] Methushael[H4967]; and Methushael[H4967] begat[H3205] Lamech[H3929].
19. And Lamech[H3929] took[H3947] unto him two[H8147] wives[H802]: the name[H8034] of the one[H259] was Adah[H5711], and the name[H8034] of the other[H8145] Zillah[H6741].
20. And Adah[H5711] bare[H3205] Jabal[H2989]: he was the father[H1] of such as dwell[H3427] in tents[H168] and have cattle[H4735].
21. And his brother[H251]'s name[H8034] was Jubal[H3106]: he was the father[H1] of all such as handle[H8610] the harp[H3658] and pipe[H5748].
22. And Zillah[H6741], she also bare[H3205] Tubal-cain[H8423], the forger[H3913] of every cutting instrument[H2794] of brass[H5178] and iron[H1270]: and the sister[H269] of Tubal-cain[H8423] was Naamah[H5279].
23. And Lamech[H3929] said[H559] unto his wives[H802]: Adah[H5711] and Zillah[H6741], hear[H8085] my voice[H6963]; Ye wives[H802] of Lamech[H3929], hearken[H238] unto my speech[H565]: For I have slain[H2026] a man[H376] for wounding[H6482] me[H3206], And a young man for bruising me[H2250]:
24. If[H3588] Cain[H7014] shall be avenged[H5358] sevenfold[H7659], Truly Lamech[H3929] seventy[H7657] and sevenfold[H7651].
25. And Adam[H120] knew[H3045] his wife[H802] again[H5750]; and she bare[H3205] a son[H1121], and called[H7121] his name[H8034] Seth[H8352]: For[H430], said she, God hath appointed[H7896] me another[H312] seed[H2233] instead[H8478] of Abel[H1893]; for Cain[H7014] slew[H2026] him[H3588].
26. And to Seth[H8352], to him[H1931] also there was born[H3205] a son[H1121]; and he called[H7121] his name[H8034] Enosh[H583]. Then began men[H2490] to call[H7121] upon the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068].
