explanation:

6  then the  lord  said to cain, “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 you, but you must rule over it.”

8  now cain said to his brother abel, “let’s go out to the field.”  while they were in the field, cain attacked his brother abel and killed him.

if the italicized words are he ran switfly, we can rewrite the sentence using a verbal phrase as follows:

running swiftly he was able to overtake the child.
