2. And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a pastor of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3. And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground a present unto the Lord.
4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord looked upon Abel and his present,
5. but he did not look upon Cain and his present. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6. Then the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7. If thou doest good, it shall certainly be accepted; and if thou doest not good, sin lies at the door. And his desire shall be unto thee, but thou must rule over him.
8. And Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him.
9. And the Lord said unto 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 cries unto me from the ground.
11. And now thou art cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12. when thou tillest the ground, from now on it shall not yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
