In context
1 Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife,—she conceived and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh!
2 And she went on to bear his brother, Abel,—and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas Cain, was a tiller of the round.
3 So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh:
4 Abel, also, even, he, brought in of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat, and Yahweh approved of Abel and of his present;
5 but of Cain and his present, he approved not,—and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.
