Cain slew Abel because
(Elohim) accepted the sacrifice
of Abel, and did not accept
the offering of Cain. 3 And he
slew him in the field: and his
blood cried from the ground to
heaven, complaining because
Cf. Gn. 4:4,
5, 8, 10 he had slain him.
4 And Yahuah reproved Cain
because of Abel, because he
had slain him, and he made
him a fugitive on the earth
because of the blood of his
Cf. Gn. brother, and he cursed him

upon the earth. 5 And on this
account it is written on the
heavenly tables, “Cursed is
he who smiteth his neighbour
treacherously, and let all who
have seen and heard say, So
be it; and the man who hath
seen and not declared (it),
Cf. Deut. let him be accursed as the
27:24 other.” 6 And for this reason
we announce when we come
before Yahuah our Elohim

in heaven and on earth, and
in light and in darkness, and
