For at least one of God's commands they did give affirmation<br />
Eve became pregnant and gave birth to a son<br />
Life was born, here comes the fun!<br />
They called him Cain<br />
She said from out of my pain <br />
With the help of the Lord God <br />
I have given birth to a little sod<br />
Later on with Cain still shorter than a table <br />
She gave birth to another and called him Abel<br />
<br />
Now Abel was a man who looked after the flocks<br />
Cain worked the soil, toiling amongst the rocks<br />
After a while Cain grabbed some random bits of fruit<br />
Offered it to the Lord, like he held him in disrepute<br />
Abel took fat portions from the first born of his flock<br />
He gave the best; God was not someone he wanted to mock<br />
So God looked at Abel and his offering with ardour<br />
But to Cain and his offering he looked with dis-favour<br />
So Cain was very angry, his face a black cloud<br />
Covered in rage like a death shroud<br />
<br />
So God spoke to Cain and was pretty frank<br />
This after all was discipline, not a think-tank<br />
Why are you so angry, your face so dark?<br />
If you do what is right won't you hit my mark?<br />
But if you don't do what I set as the benchmark<br />
Sin will crouch at your door, like a great white shark<br />
Wanting to control you, so the choice is pretty stark<br />
Control it's bite is worse than its bark<br />
If you don't do it, your life will have no spark<br />
And you will end up in a place that is forever dark<br />
<br />
Cain then said to his brother Abel, hey let's take a stroll<br />
Over yonder there by that grassy knoll<br />
While they were in the fields Cain achieved his goal<br />
Attacked Abel killed him and threw him in a hole<br />
<br />
So God said to Cain please tell me where is your brother Abel<br />
I'm sure you can tell me, I'm sure you're able<br />
<br />
Cain replied, Sorry God you know I'm a heavy sleeper <br />
What am I, am I my brother's keeper?<br />
<br />
God didn't let Cain off the hook<br />
In fact at him, he threw the whole book<br />
Your brother's blood cries out from under the earth<br />
To the place where you gave his body a berth<br />
So you are under a curse, driven from this land<br />
From which you murdered Abel with your own hand<br />
You won't be able to grow a crop<br />
Every time you try it will just flop<br />
So you will roam the world a restless wandering soul<br />
The rest of your life counting sin's toll<br />
<br />
Cain was aghast<br />
God, not so fast <br />
This punishment I fear<br />
Is so much more than I could ever bear<br />
I'm driven from this land<br />
Away from under your hand<br />
I will wander the world like a restless flea<br />
Whoever sees me they will surely kill me!<br />
<br />
But God was pretty adamant<br />
That he said is not the right sentiment <br />
For whoever kills you, will suffer like leaven<br />
Not merely like you but multiplied by seven <br />
So God put a mark on Cain<br />
So no one would kill him for gain<br />
But rather just leave him in his shame and pain<br />
So Cain departed from being under God's hand<br />
Into Nod, east of Eden, he lived in this land.<br />
<br />
Cain was with his wife and had sex with her<br />
And she became pregnant we can concur<br />
She had a baby and he was named Enoch<br />
He was the new kid on the block<br />
Cain was so excited, he built a city round the clock<br />
And named it Enoch, after the first of his flock<br />
<br />
Enoch then had a son, which was not too bad<br />
He decided to name his little boy the name Irad<br />
Irad became a dad as well<br />
And named his son Mehujael<br />
Mehujael became a dad, the family line he did not fail<br />
He named his son Methushael<br />
Methushael took to the parenting trek<br />
Had a son, named him Lamech.<br />
<br />
Lamech married two women, one was called Adah<br />
The other wife, she was named Zillah.<br />
Adah gave birth to a boy named Jabal<br />
He was the father of those who lived in tents, and raised livestock, rather reminiscent of his descendant Abel<br />
He had a brother Jubal was his name<br />
The father of those who made music their game <br />
Who played stringed instruments and pipes<br />
Music in its original form, no gripes and no hype<br />
Zillah also had a son Tubal-Cain was his name <br />
Forging tools of bronze and iron was the name of his game<br />
Tubal-Cain had a sister as well<br />
Naamah was the name of this belle<br />
<br />
Lamech gave a speech to his two wives<br />
Listen to me with your whole lives<br />
I killed a man who wounded me <br />
He injured me don't you see<br />
If Cain was to be avenged by God times seven<br />
Then for me it will be times seventy seven<br />
<br />
Adam had sexual relations with his wife once again<br />
To try and replace Abel and his pain<br />
She gave birth to a boy and called him Seth<br />
God gave me a boy to replace Abel who Cain took to his death<br />
<br />
Seth grew and in time had a son<br />
Named him Enosh and so his family line begun<br />
<br />
At that time people began to use well their words<br />
They began to cry out and call upon the name of the Lord</span></span></span>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06368779190265742521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296584042553825252.post-30119027748931987662011-02-17T04:40:00.000-08:002011-02-17T12:14:49.078-08:00Genesis: Chapter Three<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: magenta;">Of all the animals and creatures that God had made</span></span></div><span style="color: magenta;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: red;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">It is not exactly hip hop but it is hopefully a way to bring life to our reading of the Bible and make us think about what we are reading,</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: red;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">Remember it is a paraphrase, not a translation, so it is used to encourage and is more like a commentary than a Bible. It is not for study but for reading.</span><br />
