Eve became pregnant and gave birth to Cain and then to Abel
Cain worked the land; Abel kept flocks for there was no stable
Cain brought to God some of the fruits of the soil as an offering
But portions of some firstborns of his flock is what Abel did bring
“The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering” says verse four
Cain’s was not favorably received so he became angry and sore
God spoke to Cain and tried to explain about doing right
But Cain attacked and killed Abel when they were out of sight
In response to God, Cain said his brother’s keeper he was not
As a result of the murder, a lifelong curse is what Cain got
He was to become a “restless wanderer on the earth”
But God still protected him for he still had some worth
