Dec 5, 2022 · Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam and Eve, “in the course of time” brought offerings to the Lord (Genesis 4:3). Without doubt, they were doing this because God had revealed to them the necessity of a sacrifice. Some wonder how Cain and Abel were supposed to know what to sacrifice.

There are many things about both brothers that are not directly mentioned in Scripture. How far apart were Cain and Abel in age? Why did Cain become a farmer and Abel a herdsman? Did the boys get along with each other when they were young? How “old” were Adam and Eve when the boys were born? And when asking this last question, we need to keep in mi...
Directly after the mention of their births, we are told that Cain worked with crops and that Abel was a shepherd. Then we get an undetermined time reference of “in the course of time” or “in the process of time” and the details of the sacrifice. Cain brought to the Lord the fruit of the ground, and Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and of ...
Some time afterward, Cain and Abel were out in the field when Cain killed Abel. It’s hard to pin down how much time elapsed between the sacrifice and the murder. Likely a little time had passed as Cain stewed over his rejection and rebuke from God (Genesis 4:6–7). Also, since there appears to be no suspicion on Abel’s part, this may imply that some...
Genesis 4:9–15 tells us that God quickly confronts Cain with his murder, sweeps away Cain’s loathsome lie, and says that the ground itself has testified of Cain’s heinous sin. If Cain’s sacrificial offering was supposed to be a blood offering, then in a sadly ironic way, Cain, who did not offer a blood sacrifice to God, has now spilled innocent blo...
After Genesis 4, the next reference to Abel occurs in Matthew 23:35 (where Abel is called “righteous”) along with the parallel passage in Luke 11:51. These passages are often termed the “woe to you” chapters because they contain the imprecations of Jesus upon hypocritical scribes, Pharisees, and lawyers. Here Jesus is condemning many of the religio...
In all of these post-Genesis biblical mentions, the same themes about Cain and Abel are repeated. Abel was faithful and righteous, sacrificing to God the best he had; whereas Cain was jealous, hateful, and murderous with his works being described as evil. Whatever the reason for Cain’s sacrifice being rejected, rather than producing a godly sorrow ...

Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him: No human had ever died or been killed before, but Cain saw how animals were being killed for sacrifice. He extinguished Abel’s life in the same way.

Cain Kills Abel. 4 The man lay with his wife Eve and she was going to have a child and she gave birth to Cain. She said, “I have given birth to a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 Next she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was one who worked the ground.
