Genesis 4:15 in Context — Genesis 4
13 Caïn dit à l’Éternel: Mon châtiment est trop grand pour être supporté.
14 Voici, tu me chasses aujourd’hui de cette terre; je serai caché loin de ta face, je serai errant et vagabond sur la terre, et quiconque me trouvera me tuera.
15 L’Éternel lui dit: Si quelqu’un tuait Caïn, Caïn serait vengé sept fois. Et l’Éternel mit un signe sur Caïn pour que quiconque le trouverait ne le tuât point.
16 Puis, Caïn s’éloigna de la face de l’Éternel, et habita dans la terre de Nod, à l’orient d’Éden.
17 Caïn connut sa femme; elle conçut, et enfanta Hénoc. Il bâtit ensuite une ville, et il donna à cette ville le nom de son fils Hénoc.
