[[Genesis 3:10 – He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”]]

[[Genesis 3:17 – To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life."]]

[[Genesis 4:3 – In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.]]
[[Genesis 4:4 – And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,]]
[[Genesis 4:5 – but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.]]
[[Genesis 4:6 – Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?"]]
[[Genesis 4:7 – If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”]]

[[Genesis 4:10 – The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground."]]
[[Genesis 4:11 – Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand."]]
[[Genesis 4:12 – When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”]]
[[Genesis 4:13 – Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear."]]
[[Genesis 4:14 – Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”]]
[[Genesis 4:15 – But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.]]

[[Genesis 9:3 – Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything."]]
[[Genesis 9:4 – But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it."]]
[[Genesis 9:5 – And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being."]]
[[Genesis 9:6 – Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind."]]
[[Genesis 9:7 – As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”]]
[[Genesis 9:8 – Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:]]
[[Genesis 9:9 – “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you]]
[[Genesis 9:10 – and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth."]]
[[Genesis 9:11 – I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”]]
[[Genesis 9:12 – And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:"]]
[[Genesis 9:13 – I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."]]
