Chapter iv relates to the crime of murder. God instigates the

crime. Abel kept sheep. Cain tilled the ground. Cain brought vegetables to God, and Abel brought the firstlings of his flock and fat. God's taste ran in the meat line; he was somewhat of an epicurean. He respected Abel and his offering, but did not respect Cain's. Then God asks Cain why he is cross, and after Cain kills his brother Abel, he, God, says: Where is thy brother Abel? And God dispossesses Cain and drives him east of Eden to Arabia. A very arbitrary landlord this God.
