Genesis 4:6 in Context — Genesis 4
4 et Abel, de son côté, en fit une des premiers-nés de son troupeau et de leur graisse. L’Éternel porta un regard favorable sur Abel et sur son offrande;
5 mais il ne porta pas un regard favorable sur Caïn et sur son offrande. Caïn fut très irrité, et son visage fut abattu.
6 Et l’Éternel dit à Caïn: Pourquoi es-tu irrité, et pourquoi ton visage est-il abattu?
7 Certainement, si tu agis bien, tu relèveras ton visage, et si tu agis mal, le péché se couche à la porte, et ses désirs se portent vers toi: mais toi, domine sur lui.
8 Cependant, Caïn adressa la parole à son frère Abel; mais, comme ils étaient dans les champs, Caïn se jeta sur son frère Abel, et le tua.
