'''Cain''' (Hebrew, "''acquisition''") was the firstborn son of [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] as recorded in the [[Bible]].  Born after [[Fall of man|the Fall]], he became a farmer.  He was the first murderer, killing his brother [[Abel]] because God accepted Abel's offering, but not Cain's.  God punished him by cursing him to be a wanderer who would always have to toil hard for little reward.  When Cain protested that "whoever finds me will kill me," God put a mark on him so that "if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." <ref>Genesis 4:10-17</ref>
