What does the Bible say about Cain and able?
Cain and able were Adam and Eve's children in the bible. Forgive me for not knowing the exact details but Cain and Able each gave God gifts (one gave him livestock and one veg, i think), God preferred Able's gift (or at least Cain thought so) and out of jealousy Cain slayed Able. When God later asked Cain where Able was, Cain replyed "Am I my brother's Keeper?" Soon God found out of Ables murder and banished Cain. He then gave Adam and Eve a third son, Seth, to replace the two they had lost. Hope that's helpful!

A:According to the Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel wewre the first two people to be born on earth, which is probably reason enough to be famous. They are also famous as the characters in a story about how to please God, a story in which Cain murders Abel. Abel knew that God would be pleased by a sacrifice of tender meat, so his offering was a young lamb. God was so pleased with this offering that Cain could not fail to notice. Cain only offered the grain that he, as a farmer, grew, and this displeased God. Rather than placating and encouraging Cain, who was hurt by the rejection of his offering, God scolded him for showing his feelings. Cain rose up and murdered Abel, but this was incidental to the story which was really about how to please God. The story establishes that the very best meat must be sacrificed and shared with the priests.

What do we learn from the story of Cain and Abel?
Another answer from our community:Basically the spiritual lesson would be to not let ones anger take over, as it can lead to dire consequences both for the victim and for the perpetrator. It also shows how one sin can lead to another. Cain acted wrongly and envied Abel's righteousness, which led him further and further in the wrong direction. What is worse, he failed to heed a dire warning.
