Genesis 4:1-6

1 Adam slept with Eve his wife. She conceived and had Cain. She said, "I've gotten a man, with God's help!"

1 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.”

2 Then she had another baby, Abel. Abel was a herdsman and Cain a farmer.

2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.

3 Time passed. Cain brought an offering to God from the produce of his farm.

3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.

4 Abel also brought an offering, but from the firstborn animals of his herd, choice cuts of meat. God liked Abel and his offering,

4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5 but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.

5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 God spoke to Cain: "Why this tantrum? Why the sulking?

6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
