Cain Murders Abel

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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.

13

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

14

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.

15

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.

16

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