Cain and Abel were the first and second sons of Adam and Eve
Cain killed Abel supposedly because he was jealous re: the favoritism that God chose Ables sacrificial offer(meat) over Cains (fruit and grain) .Cain was cast out to walk the land but was protected from death by others by a mark placed on him from God. Abels body was not found.

Cain and Able were Adam and Eve's first two sons...One slew the other-( first murder ) - then Cain went north where he " knew his wife " -( to the land of Nod )
Look in a King James ( a Bible ) to read it...it's in the first couple of chapters of Genesis
hope this helps and good luck to you!

As previously stated, Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain killed his brother Abel, and Abel's blood cried to God, who cursed Cain for the murder.

Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve. Cain became jealous of Abel because he thought God loved his brother more than him and in a fit of rage killed his brother Abel.
