“Am I my brother’s keeper?” said Cain from the Bible to God.
Cain asks God this question after killing his brother Abel and then trying to
hide this moment. Adam and Eve have two children Cain and Abel. Abel, the “keeper
of sheep” brought his offering to God as did his brother Cain, the “tiller of
the ground”. God respected Abel’s offering more than Cain’s which caused Cain
to trick and kill his brother in a field because of his rage and jealousy towards Abel. The Lord, as punishment, puts a “mark” or curse on Cain that if
anyone finds him, they should kill him.
I have one sibling, my older brother. My brother and I actually
have a great relationship and do not fight too much. He is four years older than
me and has always served as a great role-model for me. We have pretty much
always been friends.
