menu_book Verse in Context

8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

9 The LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.

11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
