1 The man Adam knew his wife Eve intimately. She became pregnant and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have given life to a man with the Lord’s help."
2 She gave birth a second time to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel cared for the flocks, and Cain farmed the fertile land.
3 Some time later, Cain presented an offering to the Lord from the land’s crops
4 while Abel presented his flock’s oldest offspring with their fat. The Lord looked favorably on Abel and his sacrifice
5 but didn’t look favorably on Cain and his sacrifice. Cain became very angry and looked resentful.
6 The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why do you look so resentful?
