The first parents in the world (Adam and Eve). The first pregnancy in the world. The first child in the world (Cain). Then the second (Abel). \u00a0The first professions in the world (shepherd and tiller of the land).<\/span><\/p>\n

Then – competition (two offerings to God, only one accepted – Abel\u2019s), wrath \u00a0(Cain\u2019s, the rejected one), God’s attempt to explain the principle of free choice…. and the first murder in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chapter continues in a somewhat surprising way. The first murderer in the world is granted protection: The mark of Cain.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is punished by wandering, but soon settles (in the land of Nod, based on the root for \u201cwander\u201d) and even builds a city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humanity continues to develop – from the creative sons of Cain the murderer, and also from Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, who was born after the murder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Points to Ponder:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0<\/span> Pregnancy and childbirth feel to Eve as a partnership with God in the act of creation, and this experience is the inspiration for the name of Cain “I have gained\/created a male child with the help of the Lord.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0<\/span> The first murder also has shaped our lexicon: the blood crying out from the ground, and the anger at the evasion: “Where is Abel your brother” (4:9).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0<\/span> In the verses that tell about the murder, the word “brother” appears six times and literally shouts from the scriptures, just as “your brother\u2019s blood cries out \u00a0to Me from the ground\u201d (4:10).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0<\/span> The first professions were herding (Abel) and farming (Cain). It is interesting that it was only later, in the next generations, that the professions of the art of \u00a0instrumental music (Yuval) and iron work (Tuval Kayin) were established.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0<\/span> The chapter ends with the birth of Enosh and with the renewal that occurred in his time, \u201cit was then that men began to invoke the Lord by name\u201d (4:26). \u00a0This was, perhaps, the first religious reform.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
