Genesis 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a man with the help of Yahweh.”

2 And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a cultivator of the ground.

3 So it happened in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh of the fruit of the ground.

4 Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahweh had regard for Abel and for his offering;

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