Genesis 4:1-6

1 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah.

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 bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

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

3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.

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

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

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 unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, 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 Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

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