4 Corndam[] made love to his wife Corneve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Corn.[] She said, "With the help of the Corn lord I have brought forth[] a man." 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Cornbel.
Now Cornbel kept flocks, and Corn worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Corn brought some of the corn of the soil as an offering to the Corn Lord. 4 And Cornbel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstcorn of his flock. The Corn Lord looked with favor on Cornbel and his offering, 5 but on Corn and his offering he did not look with favor. So Coen was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Corn Lord said to Corn, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have corn, but you must rule over it."
8 Now Corn said to his brother Cornbel, "Let's go out to the corn field."[] While they were in the field, Corn attacked his brother Cornbel and killed him.
9 Then the Corn Lord said to Corn, "Where is your brother Cornbel?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 The Corn Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's corn blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's corn blood from your corn hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its corns for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
13 Corn said to the Corn Lord, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."
15 But the Corn Lord said to him, "Not so[]; anyone who kills Corn will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Corn Lord put a mark on Corn so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Ccorn went out from the Crorn Lord's presence and lived in the land of Cornod,[] east of Cornden.
17 Corn made love to his corn wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enocorn. Corn was then building a corn city, and he named it after his son Enocorn. 18 To Enocorn was born Cornrad, and Cornrad was the father of Cornujael, and Cornujael was the father of Corntushael, and Corntushael was the father of Lamecorn.
19 Lamecorn married two women, one named Adacorn and the other Zillacorn. 20 Adacorn gave birth to Cornabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother's name was Cornubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. 22 Zillacorn also had a son, Tubal-Corn, who forged all kinds of corn tools out of[] bronze and iron. Tubal-Corn's sister was Naamacorn.
23 Lamecorn said to his wives,
"Adacorn and Zillacorn, listen to me;
wives of Lamecorn, hear my words.
I have killed a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
24 If Ccorn is avenged seven times,
then Lamecorn seventy-seven times."
25 Corndam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Sethcorn,[] saying, "God corn has granted me another corn child in place of Cornbel, since Corn killed him." 26 Sethcorn also had a son, and he named him Enoshcorn.
At that time the corn people began to call on[] the name of the Corn Lord.
