但在主耶稣死之前，神需要看见动物被杀，常常是一只羊羔，它的血为人赎罪。当神看到血，他就原谅这个人的罪。神不接受水果和蔬菜因为这与血无关。该隐知道神的要求，却选择了自己的办法。他把愤怒和怨气都转向他那公义的弟弟亚伯。有一天，当他们单独在田里的时候，该隐怒气上升杀害了弟弟亚伯!这件事看起来好可怕，亚伯做了正确的事被杀害而该隐做了错事却继续活着。但是让我们再想一想，在他被杀害几千年后的今天亚伯在哪里?他与神一起生活在天堂享受着所有美妙的事!

　　Just think, however, where is Abel today, after all these thousands of years since he was killed?He is alive and enjoying all the wonderful things in Heaven with God! But what happened to Cain?Cain suffered something much more terrible than physical death. God saw what Cain had done, though no one else did. God asked Cain, Where is Abel your brother? Cain lied, I dont know, am I my brothers keeper? Then God said, What have you done?The voice of your brothers blood cries to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the earth. When you plow the ground, it will not yield all those wonderful fruits and vegetables like it once did. And you will be a wanderer in the earth. Then God, in His mercy, placed a mark on Cain so that no one would kill him.

　　该隐又在哪里呢?该隐遭受的事可比身体死亡更可怕。虽然别人没有看见该隐所做的，神却看见了。神问该隐你兄弟亚伯在哪里?该隐撒谎说我不知道，我岂是看守我兄弟的吗然后神就说你作了什么事呢、你兄弟的血、有声音从地里向我哀告，现在你必从这地受咒诅，你种地、地不再给你效力出产那些美妙的水果和蔬菜。然后，慈悲的神安置了一个记号在该隐身上，所以没人能杀害他。
