Compare all
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.

Genesis 4:15

Whosoever slayeth Cain vengeance shall be taken on him seven - fold - God having said in Cain's case Vengeance is mine, I will repay; it had been a daring usurpation for any man to take the sword out of God's hand. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain - To distinguish him from the rest of mankind. What the mark was, God has not told us: therefore the conjectures of men are vain.
