So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him seven times as much." And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one finding him would kill him.

Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and Cain built a city, and named the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Pay attention to my words, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me!

Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another child in place of Abel, because Cain killed him."

To Seth also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then people began to call upon the name of the LORD.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

Now Lamech lived 182 years, and fathered a son.

These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

"You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

"You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female;

But God remembered Noah and all the animals and all the livestock that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

and he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth.

Then he sent out a dove, to see if the water was low on the surface of the land;

And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, in its beak was a fresh olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was low on the earth.

"I certainly will require your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it. And from every person, from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person.

"I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."

I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

"It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.
