Creation 4



Adam ‘s wife Eve
Conceived and bare Cain, and said
I have gotten (a) man from Lord

She next bare Abel
Abel was keeper of sheep 
Cain was the tiller of ground

Process of time passed
Cain brought fruit of the ground
For an offering to Lord

Abel also brought
Firstlings of flock and their fat
God had respect for (his) offering

God had not respect
To Cain's offering, Cain was wroth
and his countenance fell

God then said to Cain
What is reason of your wroth?
Why your countenance fallen?

If you do the well
Shall you not be accepted?
If you don’t, sin will lie at door

To you shall be
His desire and you shall rule over him

Cain talked to his brother
After some time they're in field
Cain rose and slewed him Abel

Lord said to Cain
Where is Abel your brother?
Cain said know not, am I his keeper

God said what have you done?
Voice of your brother’s blood cry
 And it comes unto me from ground

And now you are cursed
From the earth which has opened her mouth
To receive your brother blood from your hand

When you till the ground
Henceforth it shall not yield to you
be fugitive and vagabond there

Cain said to Lord
My punishment is greater
Than that I am able to bear

you have driven me
out from the face of earth and
from your face I shall be hid

I shall be fugitive
and vagabond in the earth
whoever will find shall slay me 

Lord said then to him
Whoever slay Cain, Vengeance
shall be taken seven fold 

lest any finding
of him should kill him
God set a mark upon Cain

Cain went from presence
Of God in east of Eden
and dwelt in the land of Nod

Cain knew that his wife
conceived and bare Enoch
Cain built a city in land of Nod

He named the city
After name of  his son Enoch
And to Enoch, born Irad

Hundreds years passed
By time there was a book of
generations of Adam
