9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the g tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the h tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; n I will make him an help 9 meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and o brought them unto 10 Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam 11 gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the LORD God caused a p deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

did eat.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above. all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between lthy seed and m her seed; nit shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be 5 to thy husband, and he shall o rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it 6 bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

8 And Cain talked with Abel his

they were in the field, that Cain
rose up against Abel his brother,
and e slew him.

9 And the LORD said unto Cain, f Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's 8 blood 9 crieth unto me from the g ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain said unto the LORD, 9 My punishment is greater than Í can bear.

14 Behold, 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 it shall come to pass, h that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15 And the LORD said unto him. Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
