In the book of Genesis, how Cain killed his brother Abel, this is the first murder! Kane was not a punch or a girl who brought him but because of life insurance, even because Abel respected him. There is no reason for Kane to hate and kill his brothers, but Abel's behavior is justice, it is not the case. He quietly grabbed his brother and killed him. Today 's experts say Cain has psychological problems, they will not consider his mental state, this is what they are currently doing.

According to Genesis 4: 1-16, Cain erroneously killed his brother Abel, accidentally killed God, and was cursed and lasted his life. The left side of the earth was cursed to drink the blood of Abel, so Cain could no longer plow the land. Cain was regarded as "fugitives and wanderers." He gets a sign from God, often referred to as Cain's sign, which represents God's promise to protect Cain from the murder. The general theory about the name of Kane associates it with the verb "Kana" (קנה), which means it, and when she told Cain, it made it to Genesis 4: 1 of Eve used. In this view detailed by Nachmanides in the 13 th century Cain's name tells the role of his skill, power and sin.
