4hero Lyrics

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Adam and Eve had sexual intercourse, resulting in Eve conceiving and giving birth to Cain. She attributed Cain's birth to the Lord.

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Eve also gave birth to Abel. Abel tended to sheep, while Cain farmed the land.

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
At a certain point in time, Cain presented an offering to the Lord consisting of the fruits of his farming.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Abel brought the first-born of his flock and the best portions of it as an offering to the Lord. The Lord found favor in Abel's offering.

But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
The Lord did not find favor in Cain's offering.

And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Cain became extremely angry and his face showed his disappointment.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?
The Lord questioned Cain about his anger and disappointment.

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.
The Lord told Cain that if he had done what was right, he would have been accepted. But because he did not do well, sin lay at his door. Cain had the power to overcome sin if he ruled over it.

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Cain spoke with his brother Abel and then attacked and killed him while they were in the field.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother′s keeper?
The Lord asked Cain where Abel was, to which Cain replied that he didn't know and asked if he was his brother's keeper.

And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
The Lord asked Cain what he had done, saying that Abel's blood was crying out to Him from the ground.

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother′s blood from thy hand;
The Lord cursed Cain and said the earth had opened its mouth to receive Abel's blood that Cain spilled.

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.
The Lord declared that the ground Cain had been farming would no longer yield its crops to him. Cain would become a fugitive and wanderer on the earth.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Cain said to the Lord that his punishment was more than he could handle.

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, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Cain declared that the Lord had banished him from the land and that he would be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth. Cain believed that anyone who found him would kill him.

And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
The Lord said that anyone who killed Cain would suffer sevenfold vengeance. The Lord also put a mark on Cain so that no one would kill him.
