Genesis 4:15 in Context — Genesis 4
13 E disse Caim ao SENHOR: Grande é minha iniquidade para ser perdoada.
14 Eis que me expulsas hoje da face da terra, e de tua presença me esconderei; e serei errante e fugitivo na terra; e sucederá que qualquer um que me achar, me matará.
15 E respondeu-lhe o SENHOR: Certo que qualquer um que matar a Caim, sete vezes será castigado. Então o SENHOR pôs sinal em Caim, para que não o ferisse qualquer um que o achasse.
16 E saiu Caim de diante do SENHOR, e habitou na terra de Node, ao oriente de Éden.
17 E conheceu Caim a sua mulher, a qual concebeu e deu à luz a Enoque: e edificou uma cidade, e chamou o nome da cidade do nome de seu filho, Enoque.
