And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
01:003:014 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go,
and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
01:003:015 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
01:003:016 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee.
01:003:017 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy
wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of
it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
01:003:018 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb
of the field;
01:003:019 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
01:003:020 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all
living.
01:003:021 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and
clothed them.
01:003:022 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat,
and live for ever:
01:003:023 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the
ground from whence he was taken.
01:003:024 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden
Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of

life.
01:004:001 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I
have gotten a man from the LORD.
01:004:002 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but
Cain was a tiller of the ground.
01:004:003 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the
ground an offering unto the LORD.
01:004:004 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
01:004:005 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth, and his countenance fell.
01:004:006 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
01:004:007 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin
lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
01:004:008 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were
in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
01:004:009 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I
know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
01:004:010 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth
unto me from the ground.
01:004:011 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to
receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
01:004:012 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her
strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
01:004:013 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
01:004:014 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from
thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall
come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
01:004:015 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding
him should kill him.
01:004:016 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of

Nod, on the east of Eden.
01:004:017 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded
a city, and called the name of the city, after the
