Cain and Abel
(Hebrews 11:4)
And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. 1 1Jn 3:12Gen 3:15Gen 4:25Gen 5:29Num 31:17
“With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
Later she gave birth to Cain’s brother Abel. 1Jn 3:121Jn 3:15Luk 11:511Jn 3:10Gen 47:3Jhn 8:44Exo 3:1Psa 78:70-72
Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, while Cain was a tiller of the soil. So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD, Num 18:12Lev 2:1-111Ki 17:7Neh 13:6 while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. Heb 11:4Pro 3:9Exo 13:12Num 18:171Pe 1:19-202Ch 7:1Heb 9:22Lev 3:16-17
And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell. Heb 11:4Job 5:2Act 13:45Isa 3:10-11Luk 15:28-30Mat 20:15Psa 20:3Gen 31:2
“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen? Isa 1:18Job 5:2Luk 15:31-32Jer 2:31Mat 20:15Mic 6:3-5Jer 2:5Jhn 4:8-11 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, 2 but you must master it.” Jas 1:15Rom 2:6-10Isa 3:10-11Rom 6:16Heb 11:4Num 32:23Rom 12:1Rom 7:8-9
Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” 3And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. Mat 23:351Jn 3:12-15Jud 1:11Pro 26:24-26Luk 11:512Sa 14:6Heb 12:24Psa 24:3-6
And the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” Pro 28:13Jhn 8:44Psa 9:12Psa 10:13-14Act 5:4-9Gen 37:32Gen 3:9-11Job 22:13-14
“I do not know!” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
“What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. Heb 12:24Heb 11:4Psa 72:14Isa 5:7Jas 5:4Psa 9:12Num 35:33Rev 6:9-10 Now you are cursed and banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. Gal 3:10Job 16:18Deu 28:15-20Gen 3:14Deu 27:16-26Deu 29:19-21Gen 4:14Isa 26:21 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield its produce to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” Hos 9:17Lev 26:20Lev 26:36Deu 28:23-24Deu 28:65-66Gen 3:17-18Gen 4:14Jer 20:3-4
But Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment 4is greater than I can bear. Job 15:22Rev 16:9Rev 16:11Rev 16:21 Behold, this day You have driven me from the face of the earth, and from Your face I will be hidden; I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” Num 35:19Job 15:20-24Psa 143:72Th 1:9Deu 28:65Pro 28:1Gen 4:15-16Gen 9:5-6
“Not so!” 5 replied the LORD. “If anyone slays Cain, then Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” And the LORD placed a mark on Cain, so that no one who found him would kill him. Ezk 9:4Psa 79:12Ezk 9:6Gen 4:24Rev 14:11Rev 14:91Ki 16:7Hos 1:4
So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, 6 east of Eden. 2Ki 13:232Ki 24:20Exo 20:18Gen 3:8Gen 4:14Jer 23:39Jer 52:3Job 2:7
The Descendants of Cain
And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch. Dan 4:30Ecc 2:4-11Psa 49:112Sa 18:18Gen 11:4Gen 5:18Gen 5:22Luk 17:28-29
Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech. Gen 36:2Gen 5:21 And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Gen 2:24Gen 2:18Mat 19:4-6Mat 19:8
Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock. 1Ch 2:50-521Ch 4:4-5Gen 25:27Gen 4:2Gen 4:21Heb 11:9Jer 35:9-10Jhn 8:44 And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute. Amo 6:5Gen 31:27Isa 5:12Job 21:12Rom 4:11-12
And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 2Ch 2:7Deu 33:25Deu 8:9Exo 25:3Num 31:22
Then Lamech said to his wives: Exo 20:13Lev 19:18Num 23:18Jdg 9:7
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
wives of Lamech, listen to my speech.
For I have slain a man for wounding me,
a young man for striking me.
If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Mat 18:22Gen 4:15
then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.” 7
Seth and Enosh
And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, 8 saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” Gen 4:8Luk 3:381Ch 1:1Gen 4:1-3Gen 4:10-11Gen 5:3-4
And to Seth also a son was born, and he called him Enosh. Psa 116:171Ki 18:24Jol 2:32Zep 3:9Gen 12:8Gen 26:25Jer 33:16Luk 3:38
At that time men began to call upon 9the name of the LORD.
