Cain and Abel

Genesis 4

Adam and Eve had two sons named Cain and Abel. Abel cared for the sheep, and Cain worked the fields.

One day, the two sons brought gifts to God. Abel brought a little lamb, and Cain brought some grain. But when God was pleased with Abel's lamb, Cain grew very jealous and angry.

"Why are you angry, Cain?" asked God. "If you do what is right, you will be blessed." But Cain was too angry to listen. Instead, he took Abel into the field and killed him. God was disappointed with Cain. He told Cain that he could no longer make things grow. From then on, Cain would wander the earth.
