Am I my brother’s keeper?' 10 The LORD said, 'What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.' 11 'Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.' 12 'When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.' 13 Cain said to the LORD, 'My punishment is more than I can bear.' 14 'Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.' 15 But the LORD said to him, 'Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.'

Cain was then building a city, and he named the city after his son Enoch. 18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad was the father of Mehujael, who was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech married two wives, one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah. 23 Lamech said to his wives, 'Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.'

  • Num 35:16-34 : 16 But if someone strikes another with an iron object and the person dies, they are a murderer, and the murderer shall be put to death. 17 If someone strikes another with a stone that is large enough to cause death and the person dies, they are a murderer; the murderer must be put to death. 18 Or if someone strikes another with a wooden tool that could cause death, and the person dies, they are a murderer; the murderer must be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when they encounter the murderer, the avenger is to put them to death. 20 If someone pushes another out of hatred or throws something at them with intent and the person dies, 21 or if in hostility someone strikes another with their hand and the person dies, the one who struck them must be put to death. They are a murderer. The avenger of blood is to execute the sentence when they meet the murderer. 22 But if suddenly, without hostility, someone pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally, 23 or if, without seeing them, they drop a stone on someone that could cause death, and the person dies, but there was no enmity or intentional harm between them, 24 then the assembly must judge between the one who caused the death and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances. 25 The assembly shall protect the one who caused the death from the avenger of blood and send them back to the city of refuge they fled to. They must remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil. 26 But if the one who caused the death goes outside the boundaries of the city of refuge to which they fled, 27 and the avenger of blood finds the offender outside the city and kills them, the avenger shall not be guilty of bloodshed. 28 The one who caused the death must remain in the city of refuge until the high priest dies; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property. 29 These are to be legal requirements for you throughout your generations in all your settlements. 30 Anyone who kills another person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses; but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 31 You must not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; they must surely be put to death. 32 Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge, allowing them to return to live in the land before the death of the high priest. 33 Do not pollute the land where you are, for bloodshed defiles the land; and no atonement can be made for the land that has been defiled by bloodshed except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.
