Cain and Abel
Cain and Abel ( ''Qayin'', ''Heḇel'') were, according to the Book of Genesis, two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain is described as a crop farmer and his younger brother Abel as a shepherd. Cain was the first human born and Abel was the first human to die. Cain committed the first murder by killing Abel. Interpretations of Genesis 4 by ancient and modern commentators have typically assumed that the motives were jealousy and anger.〔: Anglea Y. Kim, "Cain and Abel in the Light of Envy: A Study of the History of the Interpretation of Envy in Genesis 4:1-16," ''JSP'' (2001), p.65-84〕 The story of Cain and Abel is found in the Christian Bible, Jewish Torah and Muslim Quran.

Hebrew Bible version:
The Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, offers an alternative version of the seventh verse:
Later in the narrative, God asks Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" Cain replies, "I know not: am I my brother's keeper?"
