The book of Genesis Chapter 4 (Audio)

Chapter 4 depicts the tragic story of the brothers, Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel were twins born of Adam and Eve. Abel was a sheep herder; Cain was a farmer. Over time, Cain and Abel began presenting offerings to God. The Lord was pleased with Abel’s offerings. However, he was dissatisfied with Cain’s offerings. Cain responded angrily to God’s criticisms. God warned Cain of the dire consequences of hatred, anger, and sin. In spite of God’s warning, Cain killed his brother Abel. He was overcome by sin and ultimately upset and shocked their family.
When God found out Cain had killed Abel, he was furious and so he punished Cain by placing a curse on him. The soil which Cain worked would be fruitless and would from then on would not harvest crops. When Cain became upset by the curse which was set upon him, God made it so he could not kill anyone else.
