- "And Cainª talkedª° withª Abelª his brother:ª and it came to pass,¹ when they were¹ in the field,ª that Cainª rose upª° againstª Abelª his brother,ª and slew¹ him.²° ... And Cainª went outª° from the presenceª¹ of the LORD,ª and dweltª° in the landª of Nod,ª on the eastª of Eden.ª" {Gen 4:8-16} + "And surelyª¹ your bloodª of your livesª will I require;ª° at the handª¹ of every¹ beastª will I require¹ it,²° and at the handª¹ of man;ª at the handª¹ of every man'sª brotherª will I requireª°¹ the lifeª of man.ª ...
