14 And Satan said unto Cain, Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it they shall surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.
15 And Satan swear unto Cain, that he would do according to his commands. And all these things were done in secret.
16 And Cain said, Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan; and he gloried in his wickedness.
17 And Cain went into the field, and Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, that while they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
18 And Cain gloried in that which he had done, saying, I am free; surely the flocks of my brother falleth into my hands.
19 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel, thy brother? And he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?
20 And the Lord said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
21 And now, thou shalt be cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
22 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
23 And Cain said unto the Lord, Satan tempted me, because of my brother's flock; and I was wroth also, for his offering thou didst accept, and not mine.
24 My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the Lord, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that he that findeth me shall slay me, because of mine iniquities, for these things are not hid from the Lord.
