And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD. 4And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen? 7If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And to you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him. 8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 9And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. 11And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand; 12When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth. 13And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14Behold,you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me. 15And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Answer #2
The 10 Commandments were a broad summary of the law. In the Old Testament, a law may be used for a commandment, a word, a decree, a judgement, a custom or a prohibition. The first five books of the Old Testament are also know as the Torah, or the Books of the Law. There were also oral laws (unwritten laws). There were Noachide
Laws (Jewish legend positing that seven laws were given to Noah to provide gentile nations with a moral code).
Jesus inaugurated a new era. Jesus moved the understanding of law from its external, legalistic meaning to its spiritual one (Luke 16:16). Jesus summed up the whole law and teaching of the prophets with two great principles of love for God and neighbor (Matt. 22:36-40).
What is the nationality of the Biblical Joshua?

How was the choice of Isaac's wife the result of prayer?
When seeking a wife for Isaac, Abraham's servant prayed for a sign to recognize the woman that would be the perfect wife. Rebekah did all of the requisite things, which was how the servant chose her.
Genesis 24:12-14.
12 Then [the servant] prayed, "Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'-let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
The importance of Joshua to the Hebrew people was that he was believed to have led the conquest of Canaan. Against this is that over eighty per cent of scholars believe there was no military conquest of Canaan as described in the Bible. They say that the Palestinian hinterland was largely unpopulated, with no walled cities to conquer, until a peaceful influx of Hebrew people occurred around 1250 BCE.
Answer:According to our tradition, Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan (Joshua ch.3-4).What were the two long-lasting effects of the ten commandments?
What would Western society look like without these Commandments?
1) "I am the Lord your God..." has shaped the Western beliefs about God. Pantheism and polytheism, which were excuses for immorality, are out.
2) The 7-day week, including a day of rest for everyone, is thanks to the Fourth Commandment.
3) Without the Fifth Commandment, society might still permit abandoning our aged parents to die.
4) Without the Sixth Commandment, we might still be killing our own children. Aristotle, who was among the greatest of the Greeks, and Seneca, the famous Roman, both write that killing one's young babies is perfectly acceptable; and that was the practice in their societies.
The above are just a few examples.
How long did Jezebel live after Ahab died?

Did king herold build the first temple?
No. King Solomon, the son of King David built the first temple. That temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C. After the captivity, Cyrus of Persia allowed Zerubbabel the prince of Judah to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple (second temple). Tradition tells us that Zerubbabel fell short in architectural measurements and over the years the temple was starting to decay. In 20 B.C. Herod the Great took the temple down to its foundations and started rebuilding it. This temple was built in 1 year and 6 months, but not completely. Work was done on this temple for many years, and it is said that work was still being done in the year 64 A.D., just 6 years before it was completely destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans.
