Cain Murders Abel^(A)

4 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore ^[a]Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.”

¹² not as ^(A)Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

A New Son

²⁵ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and ^(A)named him ^[a]Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”

²⁹ And he called his name ^(A)Noah,^[a] saying, “This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground ^(B)which the Lord has cursed.”

¹⁷ Now therefore, ^(A)kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately.
