Cain and Abel Are Born

Genesis 4:1-7
1
And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'
2
and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
3
And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;
4
and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,
5
and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
6
And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
7
Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'
