Cain said to Abel his brother, \u201cLet us go out to the field.\u201d And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, \u201cWhere is Abel your brother?\u201d He said, \u201cI do not know; am I my brother\u2019s keeper?\u201d And the Lord said, \u201cWhat have you done? The voice of your brother\u2019s blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother\u2019s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.\u201d Cain said to the Lord, \u201cMy punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me.\u201d Then the Lord said to him, \u201cNot so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.\u201d And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him. Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.<\/p>\n
