  Notes	Acceded: Nod, East of Eden «b»http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php/n=royal?royal11242«/b» «b»http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain «/b»In the «u»Hebrew Bible «/u» (Hebrew: , , «i»Qayin«/i», «i»Hevel«/i»), «b»Cain and Abel«/b» are the first and second sons of «u»Adam and Eve «/u». The «u»Qur'an «/u» also contains this story, although Cain and Abel are named in the Qur'anic account as Habil (Abel) and Qabil (Cain). In the Greek New Testament, Cain is referred to as «i» «/i» In at least one translation this is rendered "from the evil one", while others have "of the evil one." Some interpreters take this to mean that Cain was literally the son of the serpent in the «u»Garden of Eden «/u». A parallel idea can be found in Jewish legend,«u» «/u»that the serpent (Hebrew «i»nahash«/i» ) from the Garden of Eden was father to firstborn Cain. In all versions, Cain is a crop farmer and his younger brother Abel is a shepherd. Cain is portrayed as sinful, committing the first murder by killing his brother, after Godhas rejected his offerings of produce but accepted the animal sacrifices brought by Abel. The oldest known copy of the Biblical narration is from the 1st century «u»Dead Sea Scrolls «/u». Cain and Abel also appear in a number of other texts,«u» «/u»and the story is the subject of various interpretations. Abel, the first murder victim, is sometimes seen as the first «u»martyr «/u»; while Cain, the first murderer, is sometimes seen as an ancestor of «u»evil «/u». A few scholars suggest the «u»pericope «/u» may have been based on a «u»Sumerian «/u» story representing the conflict between nomadic shepherds and settled farmers. Others think that it may refer to the days in which «u»agriculture «/u» began to replace the ways of the «u»hunter-gatherer «/u». «u»Allusions «/u» to Cain and Abel as an «u»archetype «/u» of «u»fratricide «/u» persist in numerous references and retellings, through «u»medieval art «/u» and «u»Shakespearean «/u» works up to present day fiction.
