Cain and Abel Are Born

1

And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.

2

Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil.

3

So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

4

while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5

but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

6

“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen?

7

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”
