Creation & The Fall

(And the man called his wiues name Heuah, because she was the mother of all liuing)

Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them.

And the Lord God said, Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, to knowe good and euill. And nowe lest he put foorth his hand, and take also of ye tree of life and eate and liue for euer,

Therefore the Lord God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till ye earth, whence he was taken.

Thus he cast out man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sworde shaken, to keepe the way of the tree of life.

Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord.

And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground.

And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground.

And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,

But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.

Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?

If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him.

Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him.

Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper?

Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth.

Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand.

When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth.

Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare.

Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.

Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him.

Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden.

Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch.

And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech.

And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell.
