    3As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.

    4Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,

    5but he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.

    6Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

    7If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."

    8Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

    9Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

    10Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground.

    11Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

    12From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."

    13Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

    14Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."

    15Yahweh said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.

    16Cain went out from Yahweh's presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
