Bible Text

[9] Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?" [10] Yahweh 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 shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."
