Cain and Abel (/ke?n, 'e?b?l/; Hebrew: ????? ,?????? Qayin, He?

el;
Arabic: ?????? ??????? Qabil, Habil) were sons of Adam and Eve in the biblical Book
of Genesis.[1] Cain, the firstborn, tilled the soil, and his brother Abel was a
shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to God, each of his own produce, but God
favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. Cain murdered Abel. God punished Cain
to a life of wandering, but set a mark on him so that no man would kill him. Cain
then dwelt in the land of Nod (????, "wandering"), where he built a city and
fathered the line of descendants beginning with Enoch. The narrative never
explicitly states Cain's motive (though it does describe him as being wrathful, and
his motive is traditionally assumed to be envy), nor God's reason for rejecting
Cain's sacrifice, nor details on the identity of Cain's wife. Some traditional
interpretations consider Cain to be the originator of evil, violence, or greed.
