Cain
Genesis 4:3-15
3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of
the soil as an offering to the LORD.
4 But Abel brought 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 master it.”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out to the
field.” And 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; if anyone kills Cain,
he will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so
that no one who found him would kill him.
Israel
Numbers 11:4-6
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again
the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat!
5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the
cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.
6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything
but this manna!”
Psalms 106:13-14
13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for
his counsel.
14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the
wasteland they put God to the test.
