 4:1 ¶ And Adam y120 x121 knew 3045 853 z8804 Eve 2332 his wife; 802 and she conceived, 2029 z8799 and bare 3205 853 z8799 Cain, 7014 and said, 559 z8799 I have gotten 7069 z8804 a man 376 from 854 the LORD. 3068

 4:2 And she again 3254 z8686 bare 3205 z8800 x853 his brother 251 x853 Abel. 1893 And Abel 1893 was x1961 a keeper 7462 z8802 of sheep, 6629 but Cain 7014 was x1961 a tiller 5647 z8802 of the ground. 127

 4:3 And in process 7093 x4480 of time 3117 it came to pass, x1961 that Cain 7014 brought 935 z8686 of the fruit 6529 x4480 of the ground 127 an offering 4503 unto the LORD. 3068

 4:4 And Abel, 1893 he 1931 also x1571 brought 935 z8689 of the firstlings 1062 x4480 of his flock 6629 and of the fat 2459 x4480 thereof. And the LORD 3068 had respect 8159 z8799 unto x413 Abel 1893 and to x413 his offering: 4503

 4:5 But unto x413 Cain 7014 and to x413 his offering 4503 he had not respect. 8159 z8804 x3808 And Cain 7014 was very 3966 wroth, 2734 z8799 and his countenance 6440 fell. 5307 z8799

 4:6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Cain, 7014 Why x4100 art thou wroth? 2734 z8804 and why x4100 is thy countenance 6440 fallen? 5307 z8804

 4:7 If 518 thou doest well, 3190 z8686 shalt thou not x3808 be accepted? 7613 and if x518 thou doest not x3808 well, 3190 z8686 sin 2403 lieth 7257 z8802 at the door. 6607 And unto x413 thee [shall be] his desire, 8669 and thou x859 shalt rule 4910 z8799 over him.

 4:8 And Cain 7014 talked 559 z8799 with 413 Abel 1893 his brother: 251 and it came to pass, x1961 when they were x1961 in the field, 7704 that Cain 7014 rose up 6965 z8799 against 413 Abel 1893 his brother, 251 and slew x2026 him. y2026 z8799

 4:9 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Cain, 7014 Where 335 [is] Abel 1893 thy brother? 251 And he said, 559 z8799 I know 3045 z8804 not: x3808 [Am] I x595 my brother's 251 keeper? 8104 z8802

 4:10 And he said, 559 z8799 What 4100 hast thou done? 6213 z8804 the voice 6963 of thy brother's 251 blood 1818 crieth 6817 z8802 unto x413 me from x4480 the ground. 127

 4:11 And now x6258 [art] thou x859 cursed 779 z8803 from x4480 the earth, 127 which x834 hath opened 6475 z8804 x853 her mouth 6310 to receive 3947 z8800 thy brother's 251 x853 blood 1818 from thy hand; 3027 x4480

 4:12 When 3588 thou tillest 5647 z8799 x853 the ground, 127 it shall not x3808 henceforth 3254 z8686 yield 5414 z8800 unto thee her strength; 3581 a fugitive 5128 z8801 and a vagabond 5110 z8802 shalt thou be x1961 in the earth. 776

 4:13 And Cain 7014 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the LORD, 3068 My punishment 5771 [is] greater 1419 than I can bear. 5375 z8800 x4480

 4:14 Behold, x2005 thou hast driven me out 1644 z8765 x853 this day 3117 from x4480 x5921 the face 6440 of the earth; 127 and from y5921 thy face 6440 x4480 shall I be hid; 5641 z8735 and I shall be x1961 a fugitive 5128 z8801 and a vagabond 5110 z8802 in the earth; 776 and it shall come to pass, 1961 z8804 [that] every one x3605 that findeth x4672 me y4672 z8802 shall slay x2026 me. y2026 z8799

 4:15 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto him, Therefore 3651 whosoever x3605 slayeth 2026 z8802 Cain, 7014 vengeance shall be taken 5358 z8714 on him sevenfold. 7659 And the LORD 3068 set 7760 z8799 a mark 226 upon Cain, 7014 lest 1115 any x3605 finding 4672 z8802 him should kill 5221 z8687 him.

 4:16 ¶ And Cain 7014 went out 3318 z8799 from the presence 6440 x4480 of the LORD, 3068 and dwelt 3427 z8799 in the land 776 of Nod, 5113 on the east 6926 of Eden. 5731

 4:17 And Cain 7014 knew 3045 z8799 x853 his wife; 802 and she conceived, 2029 z8799 and bare 3205 z8799 x853 Enoch: 2585 and he builded 1129 z8802 x1961 a city, 5892 and called 7121 z8799 the name 8034 of the city, 5892 after the name 8034 of his son, 1121 Enoch. 2585

 4:18 And unto Enoch 2585 was born 3205 z8735 x853 Irad: 5897 and Irad 5897 begat 3205 z8804 x853 Mehujael: 4232 and Mehujael 4232 begat 3205 z8804 x853 Methusael: 4967 and Methusael 4967 begat 3205 z8804 x853 Lamech. 3929

 4:19 ¶ And Lamech 3929 took 3947 z8799 unto him two 8147 wives: 802 the name 8034 of the one 259 [was] Adah, 5711 and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Zillah. 6741

 4:20 And Adah 5711 bare 3205 z8799 x853 Jabal: 2989 he x1931 was x1961 the father 1 of such as dwell 3427 z8802 in tents, 168 and [of such as have] cattle. 4735

 4:21 And his brother's 251 name 8034 [was] Jubal: 3106 he x1931 was x1961 the father 1 of all x3605 such as handle 8610 z8802 the harp 3658 and organ. 5748

 4:22 And Zillah, 6741 she x1931 also x1571 bare 3205 z8804 x853 Tubalcain, 8423 an instructer 3913 z8803 of every x3605 artificer 2794 in brass 5178 and iron: 1270 and the sister 269 of Tubalcain 8423 [was] Naamah. 5279

 4:23 And Lamech 3929 said 559 z8799 unto his wives, 802 Adah 5711 and Zillah, 6741 Hear 8085 z8798 my voice; 6963 ye wives 802 of Lamech, 3929 hearken 238 z8685 unto my speech: 565 for x3588 I have slain 2026 z8804 a man 376 to my wounding, 6482 and a young man 3206 to my hurt. 2250

 4:24 If 3588 Cain 7014 shall be avenged 5358 z8714 sevenfold, 7659 truly Lamech 3929 seventy 7657 and sevenfold. 7651

 4:25 ¶ And Adam y120 x121 knew 3045 z8799 x853 his wife 802 again; 5750 and she bare 3205 z8799 a son, 1121 and called 7121 z8799 his x853 name 8034 Seth: 8352 For x3588 God, 430 [said she], hath appointed 7896 z8804 me another 312 seed 2233 instead y8478 of x8478 Abel, 1893 whom y3588 Cain 7014 slew. 2026 z8804

 4:26 And to Seth, 8352 to him 1931 also x1571 there was born 3205 z8795 a son; 1121 and he called 7121 z8799 x853 his name 8034 Enos: 583 then x227 began x2490 men y2490 z8717 to call 7121 z8800 upon the name 8034 of the LORD. 3068
