    3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.

    4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

    5but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

    6And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

    14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.
