Note
|
Abel was a shepherd whilst his older Brother, Cain, was a crop farmer. Cain killed his Brother after God had rejected his offerings of produce but accepted the animal sacrifices Brought by Abel. The first murder victim, Abel, is sometimes seen as the first martyr; while the first murderer, Cain, is sometimes seen as an ancestor of evil. The oldest known copy of the Biblical narration is from the 1st century Dead Sea Scrolls. Cain and Abel also appear in a number of other texts, and the story is the subject of various interpretations. |
