And the LORD God
cast him out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth whence he
was taken. And he cast Adam out, and set at the entering of the
garden Eden, Cherubim with a naked sword moving in and out, to
keep the way to the tree of life.
Chapter .iiij.
And Adam lay with Heva is wife, which conceived and bare Cain, and
said: I have gotten a man of the LORD. And she proceeded forth and
bare his brother Abel: And Abel became a shepherd, and Cain became
a plowman. And it fortuned in process of time, that Cain brought
of the fruit of the earth: an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he
brought also of the firstlings of his sheep and of the fat of
them. And the LORD looked unto Abel and to his offering: but unto
Cain and unto his offering, looked he not. And Cain was wroth
exceedingly, and lowered. And the LORD said unto Cain: why art
thou angry, and why lowerest thou? Wotest thou not if thou dost
well thou shalt receive it? But and if thou dost evil, by and by
thy sin lieth open in the door. Notwithstanding let it be subdued
unto thee, and see thou rule it. And Cain talked with Abel his
brother. And as soon as they were in the fields, Cain fell upon
Abel his brother and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain: where
is Abel thy brother? And he said: I can not tell, am I my
brother's keeper? And he said: What hast thou done? The voice of
thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth.
