In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also
brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on
Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and
his face was downcast.
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will
you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have
you, but you must rule over it.”
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his
brother Abel and killed him.
