Cain and Abel
Genesis 4:8
when they were in the field…Cain rose against Abel his brother and killed him.
Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain was a farmer and Abel was a shephed. One day Cain and Abel both brought offerings to God. Abels’s gift pleased God more than Cain’s This made Cain angry. He found Abel alone in the field and killed him.
Later God asked Cain, “where is your brother?” Cain answered, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” “The ground cries out that you have killed your brother,” God said. “You have doen a terrible thing.”
So God punished him. He told Cain that he had to leave his home and wander all over the earth. No crops would grow for him, and everyone would know of his sin. Cain was afraid someone would kill him. But God put a special mark on Cain’s forehead so that no one would harm him.
Cain woud have to live with his punishment.
