10 But you, if you will receive my words and if you
will come to me after your wedding, you shall rest from the
misery in which you are; and you shall rest and be better
off than your father Adam."
11 At these words of Satan Cain opened his ears, and
leaned towards his speech.
12 And he did not remain in the field, but he went to
Eve, his mother, and beat her, and cursed her, and said to
her, "Why are you planning to take my sister to wed her to
my brother? Am I dead?"
13 His mother, however, quieted him, and sent him to
the field where he had been.
14 Then when Adam came, she told him of what Cain had
done.
15 But Adam grieved and held his peace, and said not a
word.
16 Then on the next morning Adam said to Cain his son,
"Take of your sheep, young and good, and offer them up to
your God; and I will speak to your brother, to make to his
God an offering of corn."
17 They both obeyed their father Adam, and they took
their offerings, and offered them up on the mountain by the
altar.
18 But Cain behaved haughtily towards his brother, and
shoved him from the altar, and would not let him offer up
his gift on the altar; but he offered his own on it, with a
proud heart, full of guile, and fraud.
