1 Adam and Eve had a son. Then Eve said, “I'll name him Cain because I got him with the help of the Lord.”
2 Later she had another son and named him Abel.Abel became a sheep farmer, but Cain farmed the land.
3 One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the Lord,
4 and Abel also gave an offering to the Lord. He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lord the best parts of it. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5 but not with Cain and his offering. This made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings.
