Genesis 4:1-3

1Now the man 1had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to 2Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a 3manchild with the help of the Lord.”

2Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And 4Abel was 5a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3So it came about 6in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground.
