God

and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee--the head, and thou dost bruise him--the heel.'

Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband is thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed is the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,

And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.

And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'

And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;

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,

and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where is Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper--I?'

And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been--every one finding me doth slay me.'

And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore--of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.

And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;

And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.

This is an account of the births of Adam: In the day of God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him;

a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared.

And Enoch walketh habitually with God after his begetting Methuselah three hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

And Enoch walketh habitually with God, and he is not, for God hath taken him.

and calleth his name Noah, saying, `This one doth comfort us concerning our work, and concerning the labour of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.'
