Genesis 4:1-6

1 The man Adam knew his wife Eve intimately. She became pregnant and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have given life to a man with the LORD's help."

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 She gave birth a second time to Cain's brother Abel. Abel cared for the flocks, and Cain farmed the fertile land.

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

3 Some time later, Cain presented an offering to the LORD from the land's crops

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

4 while Abel presented his flock's oldest offspring with their fat. The LORD looked favorably on Abel and his sacrifice

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 didn't look favorably on Cain and his sacrifice. Cain became very angry and looked resentful.

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

6 The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why do you look so resentful?

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