Genesis 4:11

וְ עַתָּה אָרוּר אָתָּה מִן הָ אֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר פָּצְתָה אֶת פִּיהָ לָ קַחַת אֶת דְּמֵי אָחִיךָ מִ יָּדֶךָ
And now, he-who-is-cursed173 is your eternal self from out of the Red-one, who has parted174 אֶת-her mouth to take אֶת-the blood-ones of your brother from your hand.
173

Is Yahweh cursing? Not exactly. This is a passive participle masculine singular = he who is cursed or execrated as in, people curse or hate him. “Bless those who curse you, supplicate around those who revile you.” Luke 6:28 literal. “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, because it is written, Cursed is the whole of the one hanging on a wood.” Gal. 3:3 literal
