Genesis 4:1-6

1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh'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 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. 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 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.

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

4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat of it. Yahweh respected Abel and 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 he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face 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 Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

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