Rh But |at the entrance| a sin-bearer is lying,—  moreover､ shall be his longing, though ||thou|| rule over him.

And Cain said unto Abel his brother

[Let us go into the field]

And it came to pass |when they were in the field| that Cain rose up against Abel his brother､ and slew him. Then said Yahweh unto Cain､

Where is Abel thy brother?

And he said､

I know not,  am ||I||?

And he said､

What hast thou done?

 the shed-blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground.

 it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee,—
 * Now|| therefore､ art thou,—from the ground､ which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed-blood of thy brother at thy hand.

 shalt thou be in the earth.

And Cain said unto Yahweh—

Greater´ is my punishment than I can bear

Lo! thou has drivent､ me out､ this day, from off the face of the ground.

And shall I be hid,—

So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth,

And it shall come to pass ||whosoever findeth me|| will slay me.

And Yahweh said to him—

Not so! ||whosoever slayeth Cain||  shall it be avenged.

So Yahweh set､ for Cain､ a sign, that none finding him should smite´ him.

So Cain went forth´ from the presence of Yahweh,—and dwelt in the land of Nod､ eastward of Eden.And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived､ and bare Enoch, —Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of the city､ after the name of his son､ ||Enoch||. And there was born to Enoch､ Irad, and |Irad| begat Mehujael,— and |Mehujael| begat Methusael, and |Methusael| begat Lamech.And Lamech took to himself two wives,— ||the name of the one|| was Adah, and ||the name of the second|| Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal,—||he|| was father of such as dwell in tents､ and have cattle; and ||the name of his brother|| was Jubal,—||he|| was father of everyone handling lyre and flute.

Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice. Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale,— For have I slain､ in dealing my wounds,. Yea in smiting my blows:  Then |of Lamech| ||seventy and seven||.

And Adam again knew his wife, and she bare a son､ and called his name Seth, —

For God hath appointed me another seed､ instead of Abel, because |Cain| slew´ him!

And  was born a son, and he called his name Enosh,—||then|| was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.

||This|| is the record of the generations of Adam,—

 made he

and blessed them, and called their name Adam, |in the day they were created|.

And Adam lived､ a hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his likeness､ after his image,—and called his name､ Seth: and the days of Adam､ after he begat Seth, were eight hundred years,—and he begat sons and daughters. So all the days of Adam which he lived, were nine hundred and thirty years,—and he died.

And Seth lived､ a hundred and five years,—and begat Enosh; and Seth lived､ after he begat Enosh, eight hundred and seven years,—and begat sons and daughters;  and all the days of Seth were, nine hundred and twelve years,—and he died.
