Genesis 4:1-6

1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.

1 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.”

2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.

2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.

3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.

3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.

4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.

4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceeding angry, and his countenance fell.

5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?

6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
