    Chapter 4 Verses 1 - 24

  • Book of Genesis 4:1-24 :: בראשית

    1 And Aḏam knew Chavah his wife, and she conceived and bore Kayin, and said, “I have gained a man from יהוה.”

    2 And again, she gave birth to his brother Havel. And Havel became a keeper of sheep, but Kayin became a tiller of the ground.

    3 And it came to be, in the course of time, that Kayin brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to יהוה.

    4 And Havel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat. And יהוה looked to Havel and his offering,

    5 but He did not look to Kayin and his offering. And Kayin was very wroth, and his face fell.

    6 And יהוה said to Kayin, “Why are you wroth? And why is your face fallen?

    7 “If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin a is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should master it.”

    8 And Kayin told Heḇel his brother. And it came to be when they were in the field, that Kayin rose up against Heḇel his brother and killed him.

    9 And יהוה said to Kayin, “Where is Havel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s guard?”

    10 And He 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, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

    12 “If you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”

    13 And Kayin said to יהוה, “My punishment is too great to bear!

    14 “See, You have driven me from the face of the ground today, and I am hidden from Your face. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me kills me.”

    15 And יהוה said to him, “Well, if anyone kills Kayin, vengeance is taken on him sevenfold.” And יהוה set up a sign for Kayin, lest anyone finding him kills him.

    16 So Kayin went out from the presence of יהוה and dwelt in the land of Noḏ on the east of Ěḏen.

    17 And Kayin knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Ḥanoḵ. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Ḥanoḵ.

    18 And to Ḥanoḵ was born Iraḏ. And Iraḏ brought forth Meḥuya’ĕl, and Meḥuya’ĕl brought forth Methusa’ĕl, and Methusa’ĕl brought forth Lemeḵ.

    19 And Lemeḵ took for himself two wives, the name of one was Aḏah, and the name of the second was Tsillah.

    20 And Aḏah bore Yaḇal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents, with livestock.

    21 And his brother’s name was Yuḇal. He was the father of all those who play the lyre and flute.

    22 As for Tsillah, she also bore Tuḇal-Kayin, a smith of all kinds of tools in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tuḇal-Kayin was Na‛amah.

    23 And Lemeḵ said to his wives, “Aḏah and Tsillah, hear my voice! Wives of Lemeḵ, listen to my words! For I have killed a man for wounding me, even a young man for hurting me.

    24 “For Kayin is avenged sevenfold, and Lemeḵ seventy-sevenfold.”
