Genesis 4:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” So they went out. There Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

⁹ Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” Cain replied. “Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”

¹⁰ The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
