Cain and Abel

June 18, 2023

Passage: Genesis

God gave children to Adam and Eve. First, a boy was born. He was named Cain. Now there were three people in the family. Later, Adam and Eve had another boy and they named him Abel.

The brothers grew and learned to work along with their parents. God had created the world with trees and plants and grains, and Adam’s family took care of these things. Adam’s first son, Cain, became a farmer, and he grew crops. This was the work Cain did in his family.

God also made animals in His world. God told Adam to take care of the animals, and Adam did. As Abel grew older, he took care of the flocks of animals. This was Abel’s work in his family.

When it was time to give an offering to God, Cain gathered some of the produce from the land he farmed. This is what Cain gave to God.

Abel chose to give a lamb from the sheep flock to God. God was very pleased that Abel chose to give the lamb as his offering. But God was not pleased with Cain’s offering.

Cain was upset and angry about this. Why did God not want his offering? Cain was mad because God liked Abel’s offering better. Cain wanted to get back at Abel, so Cain said: “Let’s go to the

field, brother.”
When the brothers got to the field, Cain attacked his brother.

Abel died.
God knew what Cain had done. Cain’s actions made God angry.

God punished Cain. Cain would wander from place to place and no longer be a farmer.
