← Genesis 3:24	Genesis 4:1 (KJV)	Genesis 4:2 →
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.	And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.	And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
