Nov 27, 2023 · According to Genesis 4, after being exiled from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had two sons: Cain and Abel. Cain was the first son, the Bible doesn’t specify how much later that Abel was born. As adults, Cain and Abel took separate careers: Abel became a shepherd while Cain became a farmer (Genesis 4:2).

Such marriages in the beginning were not harmful.
In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain [a] and Abel [b] are the first two sons of Adam and Eve. [1] Cain, the firstborn, was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd.

The biblical record only has the following facts: Adam and Eve's first child was Cain, and the second Abel, by virtue of Genesis 4. Genesis 4 also suggests that Seth was not born until after Cain killed Abel, an act that could not have occurred in the Garden. Genesis 5 says that Adam was 130 when Seth was born, so that establishes an upper ...
