Genesis 4:6 in Context — Genesis 4

4 E Abel trouxe também dos primogênitos de suas ovelhas, e de sua gordura. E olhou o SENHOR com agrado a Abel e à sua oferta;

5 mas não olhou com bons olhos a Caim e à sua oferta. Caim irritou-se muito, e descaiu-lhe o semblante.

6 Então o SENHOR disse a Caim: Por que te irritaste, e por que o teu semblante descaiu?

7 Se bem fizeres, não serás aceito? E se não fizeres bem, o pecado está à porta; contra ti será o seu desejo, porém tu deves dominá-lo.
