1Adam and Eve had a son. Then Eve said, “I'll name him Cain because I got him with the help of the Lord.”
2Later she had another son and named him Abel.
Abel became a sheep farmer, but Cain farmed the land.
3One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the Lord,
4 But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it!
8 And when they were out in a field, Cain attacked and killed him.
9Afterwards the Lord asked Cain, “Where is Abel?”
“How should I know?” he answered. “Am I supposed to look after my brother?”
10 I will have to wander about without a home, and just anyone could kill me.”
15“No!” the Lord answered. “Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you.” So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn everyone not to kill him.
16But Cain had to go far from the Lord and live in the Land of Wandering, which is east of Eden.
More and More People17Later, Cain and his wife had a son named Enoch. At the time Cain was building a town, and so he named it Enoch after his son.
18Then Enoch had a son named Irad, who had a son named Mehujael, who had a son named Methushael, who had a son named Lamech.
19Lamech married Adah, then Zillah.
20-21Lamech and Adah had two sons, Jabal and Jubal. Their son Jabal was the first to live in tents and raise sheep and goats. Jubal was the first to play harps and flutes.
22Lamech and Zillah had a son named Tubal Cain who made tools out of bronze and iron. They also had a daughter, whose name was Naamah.
23One day, Lamech said to his two wives, “A young man wounded me, and I killed him.
24Anyone who tries to get even with me will be punished ten times more than anyone who tries to get even with Cain.”
25Adam and his wife had another son. They named him Seth, because they said, “God has given us a son to take the place of Abel, who was killed by his brother Cain.”
26Later, Seth had a son and named him Enosh.
About this time people started worshiping the Lord.
