I mean the son of Adam - the one who killed his brother Abel.
Here's what the bible says:
3 And in
process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
offering unto the LORD.
4 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:
5 But unto
Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
countenance fell.
6 And the
LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou
doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at
the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 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.
9 And
the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am
I my brother's keeper?
10 And
he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me
from the ground.
11 And
now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
brother's blood from thy hand;
12 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.
Genesis
