Genesis 4:3 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Cain

Cain ("acquisition") is a type of the mere man of the earth. His religion was destitute of any adequate sense of sin, or need of atonement. This religious type is described in 2 Peter 2. Seven things are said of him:

(1) he worships in self-will

(2) is angry with God

(3) refuses to bring a sin offering

(4) murders his brother

(5) lies to God

(6) becomes a vagabond

(7) is, nevertheless, the object of the divine solicitude.

Genesis 4:3

3 And in processc of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
