The Bible: In the Beginning... Page #2

all the days of thy life...

...thorns also and thistles

shall it bring forth to thee.

Thou shalt eat the herb

of the field.

In the sweat of thy face

shalt thou eat bread...

...until thou returnest

unto the ground.

For out of it was thou taken.

For dust thou art...

...and unto dust shalt thou return.

I have made a man from the Lord God.

Thy name shall be called Cain.

And the meaning of Cain

is "possession. "

Eve again bare a son...

...and his name was Abel...

...which means "breath of life. "

And the children of Eve

grew to be men.

Cain was a tiller of the ground...

...and Abel was a keeper of flocks.

At the time of the harvest,

they builded altars...

...and kindled fires upon them.

And Abel brought of the firstlings

of his flock...

...and the fat thereof.

And Cain also brought of the fruit

of the ground...

...an offering unto the Lord.

And the Lord had respect unto Abel

and his offering.

But unto Cain and his offering

He had not respect.

Why art thou angry?

If thou doest well,

shalt thou not be accepted?

Cain?

Cain.

Where is Abel, thy brother?

I know not!

Where is Abel, thy brother?

Am I my brother's keeper?

What hast thou done?

The voice of thy brother's blood...

...crieth unto me from the ground.

Now art thou cursed from the Earth...

...which hath opened to receive

thy brother's blood from thy hand.

When thou tillest the ground...

...it shall not yield

unto thee her strength.

A fugitive and a vagabond

shalt thou be in the Earth.

For dust thou art and unto dust

shalt thou return.

My punishment is greater

than I can bear!

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 everyone that findeth me

shall slay me!

Whosoever slayeth Cain...

...vengeance shall be taken

on him sevenfold.

I set a mark upon Cain...

...lest any, finding him,

shall slay him.

And Cain left the presence

of the Lord...

...and dwelt in the Land of Nod,

east of Eden.

And Cain knew his wife,

and she conceived and bare a son.

In the generations of time...

...when his seed began

to people the Earth...

...there were born men

apt in knowledge and craft.

As Jabal, the father of such

as dwell in tents...

...and of such as have cattle.

They made vessels out of the earth...

...jars and pitchers by the skill

of their hands.

And Jabal's brother's name was Jubal.

He was the father of all such

as handle the harp and play music.

And Tubalcain, also...

...an instructor of every artificer

in brass and iron.

And they learnt the secrets

of the ground...

...that it should deliver to them
