God knew Cain had killed Abel, so he asked Cain where was his brother Abel. And he replied Am I my brothers keeper.
Genesis 4:9 goes as follows: Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" No where does it specifically say "You ARE your brothers' keeper," rather it's a question for one to ponder and a snippy remark made by Cain to God.
The phrase "I am my brother's keeper" is a biblical reference from the story of Cain and Abel in the Book of Genesis, indicating the responsibility to look out for one another and care for the well-being of others, especially family members. It is often used to emphasize the importance of caring for and supporting others in times of need.
It was a 'defensive' question asked by Cain of God:Genesis 4:9New King James Version (NKJV)9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?"He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"Jesus had a similar statement to answer the question - all who do God's will:Mark 3:33-35New King James Version (NKJV)33 But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?" 34 And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."
"I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
Perhaps one of the more thought-provoking questions in the old testament From Genesis , the first book of the bible Bible is that one asked by Cain. Cain had killed his brother because God had accepted Abel's offering, but not his own - Gen 4:3-8 b. When the Lord inquired concerning Abel, Cain's response was: "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Gen 4:9)
Seth and Cain were brothers, children of Adam.
I have six brothers, but I am not my brothers' keeper.
i don't know, am I my brother's keeper?
No, Cain did not marry Seth. Him and Seth were actually brothers.
Genesis 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
