Genesis 4:1-6

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the Lord."

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 bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

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

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