2Later she gave birth to Cain's brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.
“again she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.”
“And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.”
“Then she bore again this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.”

3So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

“And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord,”

4while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
“And Abel, he also brought of the firstling of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offerings.”
“Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering,”

“Abel on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering,”
5but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
“but unto Cain and to his offering, he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”
“but he did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.”
“But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”

“so the Lord said to Cain, why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?”
“So, the Lord said to Cain, why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?”

7If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it."
“If you do well, will you not be accepted and if you do not do well sin lies at the door and its desire is For you, but you should rule over it”
“If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”
“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door, and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

9And the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I do not know!" he answered. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
“And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?”
“Then the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?”

10"What have you done?" replied the LORD. "The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.
“And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.”
“he said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.”

“And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.”
“And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.”
11Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
“And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.”
“So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.”

12When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."
