VERSION  OF 

The Holy Bible book of
Genesis
Chapter Four

1 The first instance of Adam's wife Eve conceiving of him, resulted in twin boys, the first of which was Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a man from the LORD.", ,

2 and the second of which, was his brother Abel, whom, as an adult, became a keeper of sheep, and Cain became a gardener who tilled the earth, ,

3 and eventually, of the fruit of his gardening toils, Cain brought an offering unto the LORD, ,

4 and also, Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof, and The LORD God had respect unto Abel and to his offering, but, ,

5 unto Cain and to his offering, The LORD God did not have respect, and as Cain's countenance fell, he became very wroth, ,

6 and The LORD God said to Cain, "Why are you wroth, and why is your countenance fallen?

7 If you do well, you shall be accepted but, if you do not well, it is because sin is at the door, , and unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.", ,

8 and Cain consulted with Abel his brother, and then when they were in the field, Cain became so angry with his brother Abel, that he killed him.

9 and The LORD God  said to Cain, "Where is Abel, thy brother?", , and Cain replied, "I don't know; am I my brother’s keeper?", ,

10  and The LORD God said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground, ,

11 and now you are cursed from the earth that has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hands, and thus, ,

12 henceforth, when you have cultivated and planted, the earth shall not yield its total strength to you; a fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.", ,

13 and Cain replied to The LORD God, "My punishment is greater than I can bear;

14 behold, this day You have driven me out from the face of the earth, and also from Your face I shall be hid, in addition to being a fugitive and a vagabond wherever I dwell on the earth, and resultantly, everyone that becomes acquainted with me, shall attempt to kill me.", ,

15 and The LORD God said to Cain, "Therefore, I shall multiply seven times, my vengeance on whomsoever kills Cain.", , and also, The LORD God set a mark upon Cain, to discourage all who became acquainted with him, from attempting to kill him, ,

16 and Cain went out from The Presence of The LORD God , and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden, ,

17 and the first time Cain's wife conceived of him, resulted in the birth of Enoch, and Enoch built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after his son whom he had named 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 himself two wives, the name of one being Adah and the name of the other, Zillah, ,

20 and Adah bare Jabal, the father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle, ,

21 and his brother’s name was Jubal, he having been the father of all such as handle the harp and the organ, ,

22 and Zillah gave birth to Tubalcain, an instructor of every kind of work with brass and iron, and the sister of Tubalcain, was Naamah, ,

23 and Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, "Hear my voice you wives of Lamech and hearken unto my words, because I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt, and thus, ,

24 if Cain shall be avenged seven times, surely Lamech shall be avenged seventy-seven times, ,

25 and again, Eve bare Adam a son, and called his name Seth, "Because", said she, "The LORD God has given me a replacement for Abel, whom Cain killed.", ,

26 and eventually, to Seth also was born a son and Seth called his name Enos, after which time, men began to call upon the name of The LORD.
