9. And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
11. And now be thou cursed from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strength; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou be on the earth.
13. And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne.
14. Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, that every one who finds me will slay me.
15. And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
16. And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden.
17. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.
18. And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.
19. And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah.
20. And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and breed cattle.
21. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe.
