Notes on this text (2)

1 Ο δε Αδάμ εγνώρισεν Εύαν την γυναίκα αυτού· και συνέλαβε, και εγέννησε τον Κάϊν· και είπεν, Απέκτησα άνθρωπον διά του Κυρίου. 2 Και προσέτι εγέννησε τον αδελφόν αυτού τον Άβελ. Και ήτο ο Άβελ ποιμήν προβάτων, ο δε Κάϊν ήτο γεωργός. 3 Και μεθ' ημέρας προσέφερεν ο Κάϊν από των καρπών της γης προσφοράν προς τον Κύριον. 4 Και ο Άβελ προσέφερε και αυτός από των πρωτοτόκων των προβάτων αυτού, και από των στεάτων αυτών. Και επέβλεψε με ευμένειαν Κύριος επί τον Άβελ και επί την προσφοράν αυτού· 5 επί δε τον Κάϊν και επί την προσφοράν αυτού δεν επέβλεψε. Και ηγανάκτησεν ο Κάϊν σφόδρα, και εκατηφίασε το πρόσωπον αυτού 6 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Κάϊν, Διά τι ηγανάκτησας; και διά τι εκατηφίασε το πρόσωπόν σου; 7 αν συ πράττης καλώς, δεν θέλεις είσθαι ευπρόσδεκτος; και εάν δεν πράττης καλώς, εις την θύραν κείται η αμαρτία. Αλλ' εις σε θέλει είσθαι η επιθυμία αυτού, και συ θέλεις εξουσιάζει επ' αυτού. 8 Και είπεν ο Κάϊν προς Άβελ τον αδελφόν αυτού, Ας υπάγωμεν εις την πεδιάδα· και ενώ ήσαν εν τη πεδιάδι, σηκωθείς ο Κάϊν κατά του αδελφού αυτού Άβελ εφόνευσεν αυτόν. 9 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Κάϊν, Που είναι Άβελ ο αδελφός σου; Ο δε είπε, Δεν εξεύρω· μη φύλαξ του αδελφού μου είμαι εγώ; 10 Και είπεν ο Θεός, Τι έκαμες; η φωνή του αίματος του αδελφού σου βοά προς εμέ εκ της γής· 11 και τώρα επικατάρατος να ήσαι από της γης, ήτις ήνοιξε το στόμα αυτής διά να δεχθή το αίμα του αδελφού σου εκ της χειρός σου· 12 όταν εργάζησαι την γην, δεν θέλει εις το εξής σοι δώσει τον καρπόν αυτής· πλανήτης και φυγάς θέλεις είσθαι επί της γης. 13 Και είπεν ο Κάϊν προς τον Κύριον, Η αμαρτία μου είναι μεγαλητέρα παρ' ώστε να συγχωρηθή· 14 ιδού, με διώκεις σήμερον από προσώπου της γης, και από του προσώπου σου θέλω κρυφθή, και θέλω είσθαι πλανήτης και φυγάς επί της γής· και πας όστις με εύρη, θέλει με φονεύσει. 15 Είπε δε προς αυτόν ο Κύριος, διά τούτο, πας όστις φονεύση τον Κάϊν, επταπλασίως θέλει τιμωρηθή. Και έβαλεν ο Κύριος σημείον εις τον Κάϊν, διά να μη φονεύση αυτόν πας όστις εύρη αυτόν. 16 Και εξήλθεν ο Κάϊν από προσώπου του Κυρίου, και κατώκησεν εν τη γη Νωδ, προς ανατολάς της Εδέμ. 17 Εγνώρισε δε ο Κάϊν την γυναίκα αυτού, και συνέλαβε, και εγέννησε τον Ενώχ· έκτισε δε πόλιν, και εκάλεσε το όνομα της πόλεως κατά το όνομα του υιού αυτού, Ενώχ. 18 Εγεννήθη δε εις τον Ενώχ ο Ιράδ· και Ιράδ εγέννησε τον Μεχουϊαήλ· και Μεχουϊαήλ εγέννησε τον Μεθουσαήλ· και Μεθουσαήλ εγέννησε τον Λάμεχ. 19 Και έλαβεν εις εαυτόν ο Λάμεχ δύο γυναίκας· το όνομα της μιας, Αδά, και το όνομα της άλλης, Σιλλά. 20 Και εγέννησεν η Αδά τον Ιαβάλ· ούτος ήτο πατήρ των κατοικούντων εν σκηναίς και τρεφόντων κτήνη. 21 Και το όνομα του αδελφού αυτού ήτο Ιουβάλ· ούτος ήτο πατήρ πάντων των παιζόντων κιθάραν και αυλόν. 22 Η Σιλλά δε και αυτή εγέννησε τον Θουβάλ-κάϊν, χαλκέα παντός εργαλείου χαλκού και σιδήρου· αδελφή δε του Θουβάλ-κάϊν ήτο η Νααμά. 23 Και είπεν ο Λάμεχ προς τας γυναίκας εαυτού, Αδά και Σιλλά, Ακούσατε την φωνήν μου· γυναίκες του Λάμεχ, ακροασθήτε τους λόγους μου· επειδή άνδρα εφόνευσα εις πληγήν μου· και νέον εις μάστιγά μου· 24 διότι ο μεν Κάϊν επταπλασίως θέλει εκδικηθή· ο δε Λάμεχ εβδομηκοντάκις επτά. 25 Εγνώρισε δε πάλιν ο Αδάμ την γυναίκα αυτού, και εγέννησεν υιόν, και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτού Σηθ, λέγουσα, Ότι έδωκεν εις εμέ ο Θεός άλλο σπέρμα αντί του Άβελ, τον οποίον εφόνευσεν ο Κάϊν. 26 Και εις τον Σηθ ομοίως εγεννήθη υιός· και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτού Ενώς. Τότε έγεινεν αρχή να ονομάζωνται με το όνομα του Κυρίου.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 4:3–8 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters I–VI)

    And it came to pass, while they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." Ye see, brethren, how envy and jealousy led to the murder of a brother.

  2. Quotes verse 4:7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XVIII)

    … is without blame, and worketh no evil --that God who reveals what is hidden [in the heart], but who worketh not evil--when Cain was by no means at rest, He saith to him: "To thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Thus did He in like manner speak to Pilate: "Thou shouldest have no power at …

  3. Quotes verse 4:17 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 8–9)

    Therefore, although it is written, "And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bare Enoch, and he builded a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch," it does not follow that we are to believe this to have been his first-born; for we cannot suppose that this is proved by the …

  4. Quotes verse 4:24 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXIV)

    Heardest thou not Lamech saying, "Of Lamech vengeance shall be taken seventy times sevenfold;" that is, "I am deserving of more punishment than Cain." Why could this be?

  5. Quotes verse 4:26 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Second Theological Oration)
