Genesis 4:2

Cain Murders Abel

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore¹ Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.”

2 Then she bore again, this time his brother¹ Abel. Now ^aAbel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3 And¹ in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit ^aof the ground to the Lord.

4 Abel also brought of ^athe firstborn of his flock and of ^btheir fat. And the Lord respected ^cAbel and his offering,

5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
