The First Murder
Cain holds a unique place of infamy as being the first person to commit murder. It was Abel, his younger brother who Cain murdered 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. Cain (who worked the soil) brought an offering of fruit, while Abel (who tended the flocks) brought fat from some of the firstborn. When God showed favoritism to Abel and his gift, Cain became angry and led his brother into the field and killed him.

Genealogical Record

 * Main Article: Biblical genealogy

Traditionally, the eldest son is used in Biblical genealogical records, however, because Cain killed his brother, he was cursed by God. Therefore, the third born son (Seth) is considered the successor of Adam.

Cain did, however, have a son of his own, named Enoch.
