Génesis 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 4:11

And now [art] thou cursed from the earth
From receiving benefit by it, and enjoying the fruits of it as before, and from having a settled dwelling in it, as is afterwards explained: which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy
hand;
the blood of his brother, which was shed by his own hand, was received and sucked into the earth, where it was spilt, through the pores of it, and drank up and covered, so as not to be seen; in which it was as it were more humane to Abel, and as it were more ashamed of the crime, and shuddered more, and expressed more horror at it, than Cain.

Génesis 4:11 In-Context

9 Luego el Señor
le preguntó a Caín:
—¿Dónde está tu hermano? ¿Dónde está Abel?
—No lo sé —contestó Caín—. ¿Acaso soy yo el guardián de mi hermano?

10 Pero el Señor
le dijo:
—¿Qué has hecho? ¡Escucha! ¡La sangre de tu hermano clama a mí desde la tierra!

11 Ahora eres maldito y serás expulsado de la tierra que se ha tragado la sangre de tu hermano.

12 La tierra ya no te dará buenas cosechas, ¡por mucho que la trabajes! De ahora en adelante, serás un vagabundo sin hogar sobre la tierra.

13 Caín respondió al Señor
:
—¡Mi castigo
es demasiado grande para soportarlo!
