Genesis Chapter 4

1. [Note - Verse 1 is considered corrupted - see Chapter Notes] And the Adam knew 3045 Chawwah his woman, and she conceived 2029, and bare 3205 Qayin 7014, and said, "I have acquired 7069 a man 376 by [Yahweh]."

2. And again 3254 she conceived, and bare his half-brother 251 Hebel 1893. And Hebel became a tender 7462 of a flock 6629, and Qayin became a tiller 5647 of the soil 127.

3. It came to be 1961 after 7903 a time 3117 that brought Qayin of the fruit of the soil as a gift offering 4503 to Yahweh.

4. And Hebel brought also 1571 from the firstborn 1062 of his flock, from the fattest 2459. And gazed 8159 Yahweh upon Hebel and his gift offering:

5. But to Qayin and to his gift offering He did not gaze. And was kindled 2734 the anger of Qayin very much 3966, and fell 5307 his countenance 6440.

6. Said Yahweh to Qayin, "For what 4100 is kindled your anger? And for what has fallen your countenance?

 7. Surely 3808 if 518 you do well 3190 there is uplifting 7613, but if you do not do well, at the door 6607 sin 2403 lies down 7257: and to you is his longing 8669, and you 859 he shall rule 4910."

[The first murder - see John 8:44]

8. And said Qayin to Hebel his half-brother, "Let us be in the field." And rose up 6965 Qayin against 413 Hebel his half-brother, and murdered2026 him.

9. Said Yahweh to Qayin, "Where 335 is Hebel your half-brother?" And said Qayin "I do not know: the keeper 8104 of my half-brother am I 595?"

10. And He said, "What 4100 have you done? The voice 6963 of the blood 1818 of your half-brother calls out 6817 to Me from the soil!

11.And now 6258 cursed 779 are you from the soil that has opened 6475 its mouth 6310 to take 3947 the blood of your half-brother from your hand 3027.

12. When you till the soil it will not again 3254 give you its strength 3581; a tottering 5128 wanderer 5110 you shall be in the land."

13. Said Qayin to Yahweh, "Greater 1419 is my punishment for iniquity 5771 than I can bear 5375.

14. Behold 2005, You have driven Me out 1644 this day from upon the face 6440 of the soil 127; and from Your presence 6440 shall I be absent5641; and I shall be a tottering wanderer in the land; and it shall be that all who find 4672 me will slay 2026 me."

15. And said Yahweh, "Therefore 3651 any that slays Qayin, sevenfold 7659 vengeance 5358 shall be taken upon him." And put 7760 Yahweh upon Qayin a sign 226, lest 1115 smite 5221 him any who find 4672 him.

16. And went forth 3318 Qayin from the presence of Yahweh, and dwelled 3427 in the land of Nod 5113, eastward of Eden.

[Qayin's seedline]

17. And knew Qayin his woman; and she conceived, and bare Chanoch 2585: and it was, he built 1129 a city 5892, and called the name of the city by the name of his son 1121 Chanoch.

18. And born to Chanoch was Iyrad 5897: and Iyrad begat 3205 M'chuyael 4232: M'chuyael begat M'thushael : w'M'thushael begat Lemech 3929.

19. And took Lemech two 8147 women: the name of one was Adah 5711, and the name of the second 8145 was Tsillah 6741.

20. And bare Adah Yabal 2989: he became the forefather 1 of the dwellers 3427 in tents 68, with livestock 4375.

21. And the name of his brother was Yubal 3106: he was the forefather of all such as wield 8610 the harp 3658 and reed instruments 5748.

22. And Tsillah, she also bare Tubal-Qayin 8423, an instructor 3913 of all fabricators 2794 in bronze 5178 and iron 1270: and the sister 269 of Tubal-Qayin was Naamah 5279.

23. And said Lemech to his women, Adah and Tsillah, "Hear my voice; women of Lemech, give ear 238 to my speech 565: for a man 376 I have slain by my wounding 6482, and a lad 3206 by my blow 2250.

24. Because if sevenfold avenging for Qayin, truly Lemech seventy 7657 and seven 7651."

[End of the seedline of Qayin]

25. And knew the Adam again 5750 his woman, and she bare a son 1121, and he called his name Sheth 8352: because appointed 7896 Elohiym another 312 seed 2233 in place of 8478 Hebel, that was murdered by Qayin.

26. And to Sheth, also he begat a son, and called his name Enosh 583: then 227 they began 2490 to call upon 7121 The Name of Yahweh.
