JUSTICE, VENGEANCE, AND MERCY DEVOTIONAL READING: Genesis 4:1–13
BACKGROUND SCRIPTURE: Genesis 4 GENESIS 4:1–15 1
BACKGROUND SCRIPTURE: Genesis 4 GENESIS 4:1–15 1
1 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 But the LORD said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

HOW TO SAY IT Leviticus Leh-vit-ih-kus. Moses Mo-zes or Mo-zez. primeval pry-mee-vuhl. Terah Tair-uh. Introduction
A. Acing Sisterhood
The Williams sisters know tennis. Together Serena and Venus have dominated the women’s field, winning 14 Grand Slam doubles titles. They both excel in singles competition as
well, although the younger sister has been the brighter star. As of this writing, Serena has won a staggering 73 singles titles while Venus has 49 of her own. Serena’s relatively greater successes could have made Venus bitter. The 19–12 record of Serena’s wins against Venus in head to head matches could have soured their relationship. Instead, the competition seems to fuel their continued excellence. Both sisters understand the struggles of performing at the highest level of their sport. Instead of giving in to jealousy over their relative successes, the sisters demonstrate their love by cheering each other on, always hoping for the other’s success. What an example of sibling love! But we know that many siblings do not take joy in the other’s accomplishments. Our text today does not explore a relationship like Serena and Venus have; it sadly shows us what happens when evil takes root in a brother’s heart.
B. Lesson Context The first part of the book of Genesis is general history (also called primeval history).
As Moses introduced new people or nations throughout this section, the emphasis very quickly moved to the person or entity that he intended to feature at that point. For example, the accounts of the first sin and the first murder are set forth in Genesis 3 and 4 (see below), but the goal is to get to another son of Adam and Eve—namely, Seth. Notice the focus on him in Genesis 5:1–4. In Genesis 5:6–26, we see repeatedly that a certain descendant “had … sons and daughters,” but the only one mentioned by name in each case is the one leading to Noah and the flood. This trend continues until the account finally reaches Abram and stays focused on his family (see lesson 6).
A. Eve’s Sons
(vv. 1–2)
1a. Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. the first Son of Eve
The conception and birth of the first human offspring follow what people through the generations have known as the ordinary course of events. Unlike Adam and Eve, From whom God himself made man from the ground he made Adam and Eve from the rib of Adam ..
Cain was a child born through ordinary human sexual reproduction.
The Same way that we were mad and our children were made . but if we had small children in our bible study i would have to explain a little more in depth on how they were created ! birds and the bees so to say .
1b. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” Cain’s name is a play on words but it (signifies possession). First, it has some of the same Hebrew consonants as the word Eve used to describe how she had brought forth a man. Second, Eve specified that the Lord helped her beget her first son. She did not mention Adam. Alone, this observation has ambiguous( What does ambiguous mean in English?
The definition of ambiguous is something that is unclear or not easily describable. An example of someone who might give an ambiguous answer to a question is a politician who is talking to his constituents. What is an example of an ambiguous statement?
How do you use the word ambiguous in a sentence? Her songs are intentionally ambiguous . The ending was more ambiguous , one in which the future of the world was in question. There are a number of specific issues left somewhat ambiguous in the document. The modern work is deliberately ambiguous .)
meaning, but combined with the third and most remarkable insight, we get a clearer picture of her meaning.
just like my name long time ago i looked up my name in the dictionary and the first thing i saw was this
clarence

NOUN

American Meaning: The name Clarence is an American baby name. In American the meaning of the name Clarence is: From the surname and place name Clare, meaning bright or clear. Famous bearers: George, Duke of Clarence, brother of King Edward IV and King Richard III,…)
So men we see now how a woman sometimes think and how she not wanting to be under the man have to have athourity over us some how and it all started with Eve
2a. Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
