11. And so, I'll put you under a curse. Because you killed Abel and made his blood run out on the ground, you will never be able to farm the land again.
12. If you try to farm the land, it won't produce anything for you. From now on, you'll be without a home, and you'll spend the rest of your life wandering from place to place.
13. “This punishment is too hard!” Cain said.
14. “You're making me leave my home and live far from you. I will have to wander about without a home, and anyone could kill me.”
15. “No!” the Lord answered. “Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you.” So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn everyone not to kill him.
16. But Cain had to go far from the Lord and live in the Land of Wandering, which is east of Eden.
17. Later, Cain and his wife had a son named Enoch. At the time Cain was building a town, and so he named it Enoch after his son.
18. Then Enoch had a son named Irad, who had a son named Mehujael, who had a son named Methushael, who had a son named Lamech.
19. Lamech married Adah, then Zillah.

22. Lamech and Zillah had a son named Tubal Cain who made tools out of bronze and iron. They also had a daughter, whose name was Naamah.
23. One day, Lamech said to his two wives, “A young man wounded me, and I killed him.
24. Anyone who tries to get even with me will be punished ten times more than anyone who tries to get even with Cain.”
25. Adam and his wife had another son. They named him Seth, because they said, “God has given us a son to take the place of Abel, who was killed by his brother Cain.”
26. Later, Seth had a son and named him Enosh.About this time people started worshipping the Lord.
