3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to the Lord from the fruit of the ground.
4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. The Lord respected Abel and his offering,
5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?
7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”
8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 The Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
