אֶת   et |

AT
(If the Hebrew word אֶת (AT) is being used as a preposition (with), then the translation provided is correct. However, if it is being used as the marker of the definite object, then the translation should be "I purchased the man Yhwh.") |
| אֶת et |
| Genesis 4:2 | | and she brought forth again his brother Hevel, and Hevel existed as a feeder of the flocks, and Qayin existed as a server of the ground, |

| Genesis 4:3 | | and it came to pass at the conclusion of days, Qayin brought from the produce of the ground, a deposit to Yhwh, |
from~CONCLUSION
(This word is usually followed by a number of years or days to identify the end of that time frame, such as in Genesis 8:6 where it states "at the conclusion of the forty days." In this verse, it appears that the period of time is missing.) |
| Genesis 4:4 | | and Hevel had brought also, he from the firstborn females of his flocks and from their fat, and Yhwh looked with respect to Hevel and to his deposit, |

| Genesis 4:7 | | if you do well, will there not be a lifting up? but if you do not do well, there will be an opening of failure stretching out, and to you is his following and you will regulate in him, |
תְּשׁוּקָתוֹ   tê'shu'qa'to |
FOLLOWING~him
(It is often assumed the pronoun "him" is referring to the "error." However, the word "error" is a feminine noun. One interpretation is that the pronoun "him" is referring to his brother. Compare the phrase "to you is his following and you will regulate in him" with the same phrasing in Genesis 3:16 where it is referring to the man and his woman.) |

| Genesis 4:8 | | and Qayin said to Hevel his brother, let us go out into the field, and it came to pass in their existing in the field, and Qayin rose to Hevel his brother and he killed him, |
and~he~will~SAY (Verb)
(The conversation between Qayin and Hevel is missing from the text. The phrase "let us go out into the field" is found in the Greek Septuagint. The Greek Septuagint may have been translated from a Hebrew text with the conversation intact or the translators may have supplied the phrase to clarify the text.) |
