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
