Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD ."
2
Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3
So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground.
4
Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering;
5
but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.
