Cain And Abel's Two Chapters In Genesis 2

Starting off with Genesis 2 then advancing to chapter 4, the reader looks further into the unique qualities of humans that God distilled within their minds: the ability to have social interactions as well as free will to act on one’s own desires. These two chapters excel at expressing God’s call on humans to live through service rather than deviating to God’s role as the ultimate creator and supreme decision maker. When Adam eats from the forbidden tree of good and evil, God brought forth misfortune for all humanity to come and the earth was to decrease its wealthy production for the man and woman. In the interpretation of the Cain and Abel story, Cain fulfills his humanly duty as a “tiller of the ground” while Abel was a “keeper of sheep”.
