1. And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
2. And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
3. And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
4. Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
