Genesis 4:6 in context

  1. 4Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,
  2. 5but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
  3. 6Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
  4. 7If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
  5. 8Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
