וַיִּ֤חַר לְקַ֨יִן֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ פָּנָֽיו

And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (KJV)

BHR Staff Commentary

Scholars have debated the reconstruction of the beginning of Genesis 4 that should be in the third column, but is fragmentary. This manuscript is unclear on Genesis 4:6, but it has been reconstructed as reported in the transcription.
