Genesis 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a male child with the help of the LORD.”

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

3 So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD from the fruit of the ground.

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

5 but for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his face was gloomy.
