Genesis 4: 26 Seth also had a son, and he
named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the Name of
the Lord. (8)
138
25 Adam
made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,
saying, “GOD has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed
him.”
(7)
147
16 So
Cain went out from the Lord’s
presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. (7)
17 Cain made love to
his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then
building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch.
18 To Enoch was born
Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of
Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

7 If
you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is
right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule
over it.” (7)
8 Now Cain said to
his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field,
Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he
replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
369
22 Zillah
also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze
and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
(4)
23 Lamech said to his
wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech,
hear my words.
I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.”
I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.”
369
13 Cain
said to the Lord, “My punishment is
more than I can bear.
(4)
14 Today you are
driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from Your presence; I will be a
restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer
vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord
put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
369
4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of
the firstborn of his flock. The Lord
looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
(4)
5 but on Cain and his
offering He did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was
downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
369
19 Lamech
married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. (1)
20 Adah gave birth to
Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock.
21 His brother’s name
was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes.
138
10 The
Lord said, “What have
you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. (1)
11 Now you are under a
curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your
brother’s blood from your hand.
12 When you work the
ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless
wanderer on the earth.”
138
Cain and Abel
1 Adam made love to
his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With
the help of the Lord
I have brought forth a man.”
(1)
2 Later she gave
birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.
3 In
the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering
to the Lord.
