receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth
yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13
And Cain said
unto the L
ORD
, My punishment
is
greater than I can bear.
14
Behold, thou hast driven me out this
day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,
that
every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15
And
the L
ORD
said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him
sevenfold. And the L
ORD
set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16
And Cain went out from the presence of the L
ORD
, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east
of Eden.
17
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and
called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and
Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one
was
Adah, and the name of the
other Zillah.
20
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and
of such as
have
cattle.
21
And his brother’s name
was
Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp
and organ.
22
And Zillah, she also bare Tubal- cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron:
and the sister of Tubal-cain
was
Naamah.
23
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah,
Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my
wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy
and sevenfold.
25
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God,
said
she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26
And to Seth, to him also
there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the
L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 5
This
is
the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of
God made he him;
2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
3
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat
a son
in his own likeness, after his
image; and called his name Seth:
4
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5
And all the days that Adam lived were nine
hundred and thirty years: and he died.
6
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
7
And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
8
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
