Loneliness And Depression
THE FIRST MURDER RESULTED FROM RAGE, DEPRESSION AND JEALOUSY
And Adam knew Eve, his wife; and she conceived and bare Cain and said,
“I have gotten a man from the Lord.”
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but
Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of
the ground an offering unto the Lord,
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat
thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering;
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth (upset) and his countenance fell.
And the Lord said unto Cain, “Why art thou wroth? And why is they
countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? (God
offers a second chance) And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.(sin will
pounce upon him if Cain did not rule over it.)
And 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.
And the Lord said unto Cain, “Where is Abel, thy brother?” And he
said, “I know not; am I my brother’s keeper?”
Gen.4:10 - the curse of Cain: And he said, “What hast thou done? The
voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art
thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
brother’s blood from thy hand:
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her
strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”
And Cain said unto the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and
from thy face shall I be hid; and I will be a fugitive and a vagabond in the
earth, and everyone that findeth me shall slay me.”
And the Lord said unto him, “Therefore, whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon
Cain, lest any finding Cain should kill him.
