Which parts of this passage contain a biblical allusion?
so lived the clansmen in cheer and revel
a winsome life, till one began
to fashion evils, that field of hell.

march-riever mighty, in moorland living,
in fen and fastness; fief of the giants
the hapless wight a while had kept
since the creator his exile doomed.

by sovran god for slaughtered abel.

for the slaughter’s sake,
from sight of men. of cain awoke all that woful breed,
etins and elves and evil-spirits,?
