8. Cain talked to his brother Abel. Later, when they were in the fields, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9. The Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”“I don’t know,” he answered. “Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
10. The Lord asked, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11. So now you are cursed from the ground, which has received the blood of your brother whom you killed.
12. When you farm the ground, it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a fugitive, a wanderer on the earth.”
13. But Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can stand!
14. You have forced me off this land today. I have to hide from you and become a fugitive, a wanderer on the earth. Now anyone who finds me will kill me!”
15. So the Lord said to him, “Not so! Anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” The Lord gave Cain a sign so that anyone meeting him would not kill him.
16. Then Cain left the Lord’s presence and lived in Nod [The Land of Wandering], east of Eden.
17. Cain made love to his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was building a city, and he named it Enoch after his son.
18. To Enoch was born Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael. Mehujael was the father of Methushael. And Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19. Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
