Best Answer

From the Hebrew Bible and Christian Bible (Old Testament), the Book of Genesis. Cain and Abel were brothers, and the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Abel was the younger brother who hunted and sacrificed animals to Yahweh/God. Cain was the elder who farmed and sacrificed plants for God, who supposedly favored Abel's gifts. One day, Cain was so jealous that he killed his own brother. God had forgiven him and agreed to shield him from evil. He migrated to the land of Nod.
