10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood acries out to Me from the ground.
11 So now ayou are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My1 punishment is greater than I can bear!
14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; aI shall be bhidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that canyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 And the Lord said to him,1 “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him asevenfold.” And the Lord set a bmark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.
The Family of Cain
16 Then Cain awent out from the bpresence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of1 Nod on the east of Eden.
