Genesis 3
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [6] And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did
eat.
[7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. [8]
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the
LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. [9] And the LORD God called unto
Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? [10] And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid
myself.
[11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of
the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? [12] And
the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the
tree, and I did eat.
[13] And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. [14] And
the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: [15] And I
will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [16] Unto
the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception;
in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee. [17] And unto Adam he said, Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree,
of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy
life; [18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field;
[19] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto
the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return.
[20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
[21] Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
[22] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [23] Therefore the LORD God sent
him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken. [24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 4
[1] And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said,
I have gotten a man from the LORD.
[2] And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper 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 an offering unto the LORD. [4] And Abel, he also brought of
the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had
respect unto Abel and to his offering: [5] But unto Cain and to his
offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance
fell.
[6] And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
[7] If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not
well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou
shalt 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 crieth unto me from the ground.
[11] And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to
receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; [12] When thou tillest the
ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive
and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. [13] And Cain said unto the
LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. [14] Behold, thou hast
driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall
I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it
shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
[15] And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon
Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
[16] And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land
of Nod, on the east of Eden.
[17] And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son,
Enoch.
[18] And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael
begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. [19] And Lamech took unto him
two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
[20] And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and
of such as have cattle.
[21] And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as
handle the harp and organ.
[22] And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer
in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. [23] And Lamech
said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech,
hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young
man to my hurt. [24] If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech
seventy and sevenfold. [25] And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a
son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another
seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
[26] And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name
Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

sixty and five years: [24] And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for
God took him. [25] And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,
and begat Lamech:

two years, and begat sons and daughters: [27] And all the days of

concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the
LORD hath cursed.

years, and begat sons and daughters: [31] And all the days of Lamech were
seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
