Genesis 4:4-15

4 and Abel also brought of ^athe firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord ^bhad regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but ^cfor Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 ^dIf you do well, will you not be accepted? ^{▼▼Hebrew will there not be a lifting up [of your face]?} And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. ^fIts desire is contrary to ^{▼▼Or is toward} you, but you must rule over it.”

8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother. ^{▼▼Hebrew; Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate add Let us go out to the field} And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and ⁱkilled him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, ^j“I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And the Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood ^kis crying to me from the ground. 11 And now ^lyou are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My ^mpunishment is greater than I can bear. ^{▼▼Or My guilt is too great to bear} 14 Behold, ^oyou have driven me today away from the ground, and ^pfrom your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, ^qand whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him ^rsevenfold.” And the Lord ^sput a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him.

Genesis 4:25

25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has appointed ^{▼▼ Seth sounds like the Hebrew for he appointed} for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

Hebrews 11:4

4 By faith ^uAbel offered to God ^va more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And ^wthrough his faith, though he died, he ^xstill speaks.

Jude 11

11 Woe to them! For they walked in ^ythe way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain ^zto Balaam’s error and ^aaperished in Korah’s rebellion.
