First two sons of Adam and Eve This article is about the first and second sons of Adam and Eve. For other uses, see Cain and Abel (disambiguation). Cain slaying Abel, by Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1600 In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain [a] and Abel [b] are the first two sons of Adam and ...
The Book of Genesis does not give a specific reason for the murder of Abel. Modern commentators typically assume that the motives were jealousy and anger due to God rejecting Cain's offering, while accepting Abel's. [45] The First Epistle of John says the following: Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother.
Hence God placed Abel, the second son, in the internal position.

The book of Genesis tells the story of the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain; the world's first recorded murder. Despite wide assumption that Cain used a rock or tree branch, the Bible does not state what weapon was used. That detail is lost to history. In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to the chest.
