Biography
Cain was born to Adam and Eve, and Genesis presents him as a worker of the ground . His offering from the fruit of the ground was not regarded as Abel's flock offering was, and Yahweh warned him that sin was crouching at the door .
Cain killed Abel in the field, then received judgment that the ground would no longer yield its strength to him and that he would be a fugitive and wanderer . Yahweh placed a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him, and Cain went away to live in the land of Nod .
