Abel



Abel, (Born::Tammuz 2 AM-Died::Murdered::Ethanim 130 AM) was the second son of son of::Adam and son of::Eve. He was born after Adam and Eve sinned and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. The only brothers of Abel mentioned by name in the Bible are his elder brother brother of::Cain and his younger brother of::Seth. Abel was a farmer who "tended the flocks".

The First Murder
Abel holds a unique place of infamy as being the first person to be murdered. It was his older brother (Cain) who killed him in an act of jealousy. The story of Cain and Abel is told in the Bible in, and also the Qur'an. According to the account, Cain and Abel both brought offerings to God. Abel (who tended the flocks) brought fat from some of the firstborn, while Cain (who worked the soil) brought an offering of fruit. When God showed favoritism to Abel and his gift, Cain became angry and led him into the field and killed him. This probably took place in the fall of 130 AM, as the Bible suggests. (The most likely time for the failed sacrifice was in the fall, on or towards the anniversary of creation.)
