And Adam had relations with - his wife Eve , and she conceived and gave birth to - Cain. “ With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man , ” she said.
| LXX |
Later she gave birth - to (Cain’s) brother - Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep , while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
| LXX |
So in the course of time - , Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD ,
| LXX |
while Abel ... - brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering ,
| LXX |
but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry , and his countenance fell.
| LXX |
“ Why are you angry , ” said the LORD to Cain , and why has your countenance fallen ?
| LXX |
If you do what is right , {will} you not be accepted ? But if you refuse to do what is right , sin is crouching at your door ; it desires you , but you must master
| LXX |
Then Cain said to his brother Abel, (“Let us go out to the field.”) And while they were in the field , Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
| LXX |
And the LORD said to Cain , “ Where (is) your brother Abel ? ” “ I do not know ! ” he answered. “ {Am} I my brother’s keeper ? ”
| LXX |
“ What have you done ? ” replied (the LORD). “ The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
| LXX |
Now you (are) cursed and banished from the ground , which has opened - its mouth to receive - your brother’s blood from your hand.
| LXX |
When you till - the ground , {it will} no longer yield its produce You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth. ”
| LXX |
But Cain said to the LORD , “ My punishment (is) greater than I can bear.
| LXX |
Behold , this day You have driven me from the face of the earth , and from Your face I will be hidden ; I {will} be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth , and whoever finds me {will} kill me. ”
| LXX |
“ Not so ! ” replied the LORD “ If anyone slays Cain , (then Cain) will be avenged sevenfold. ” And the LORD placed a Mark - on Cain , so that no one ... who found him would kill him.
| LXX |
So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod , east of Eden.
| LXX |
And Cain - had relations with his wife , and she conceived and gave birth to - Enoch. Then (Cain) built a city and named ... (it) after his son Enoch.
| LXX |
Now to Enoch - was born Irad , and Irad was the father of - Mehujael , and Mehujael was the father of - Methusael , and Methusael was the father of - Lamech.
| LXX |
And Lamech married two women , one named Adah and the other Zillah.
| LXX |
Adah - gave birth to Jabal ; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and (raise) livestock.
| LXX |
And his brother’s name (was) Jubal ; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
| LXX |
And Zillah ... ... gave birth to - vvv Tubal-cain , a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister vvv of Tubal-cain (was) Naamah.
| LXX |
Then Lamech said to his wives : “ Adah and Zillah , hear my voice ; wives of Lamech , listen to my speech. For I have slain (a man) for wounding me , a young man for striking me.
| LXX |
If Cain is avenged sevenfold , then Lamech vvv seventy-sevenfold. ”
| LXX |
And Adam again had relations with his wife , - and she gave birth to a son and named - him Seth , saying , “ God has granted another seed in place of Abel , since Cain killed him. ”
| LXX |
And to Seth ... also a son was born , and he called - him Enosh. At that time (men) began to call upon the name of the LORD.
