Abelbecame a sheep farmer, but Cainfarmed the land. 3 One day, Caingave part of his harvest to the Lord, 4 He 11.4.and Abelalso gave an offering to the Lord. He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lordthe best parts of it. The Lordwas pleased with Abeland his offering, 5 but not with Cainand his offering. This made Cainso angry that he could not hide his feelings.
6 The Lordsaid to Cain:
What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so angry? 7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling.4.7 you would be smiling: Or "I would have accepted your offering."But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don’t let it!
8 Ws 10.3;Mt 23.35;Lk 11.51;1 Jn 3.12.Cainsaid to his brother Abel, "Let’s go for a walk."4.8 Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let’s … walk." Most ancient translations; Hebrew "Cain spoke to his brother Abel."And when they were out in a field, Cainattacked and killed him.
9 Afterwards the Lordasked Cain, "Where is Abel?"
"How should I know?" he answered. "Am I supposed to look after my brother?"
10 He 12.24.Then the Lordsaid:
Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed onto the ground. Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you. 11 And so, I’ll put you under a curse. Because you killed Abel and made his blood run out on the ground, you will never be able to farm it again. 12 When you try to farm the land, it won’t produce anything for you. From now on, you’ll be without a home, and you’ll spend the rest of your life wandering from place to place.
13 "This punishment is too hard!" Cainsaid. 14 "You’re making me leave my home and live far from you.4.14 live … you: It was generally believed that the Lord was with his people only in their own land.I will have to wander about without a home, and just anyone could kill me."
15 "No!"4.15 No: Three ancient translations; Hebrew "Very well!"the Lordanswered. "Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times worse than I am punishing you." So the Lordput a mark on Cainto warn everyone not to kill him. 16 But Cainhad to go far from the Lordand live in the Land of Wandering,4.16 Wandering: The Hebrew text has "Nod," which means "wandering."which is east of Eden.
