It then goes on to tell about how Adam and Eve were created, how they sinned against God by eating fruit from a forbidden tree in Eden, and how their descendants grew into nations that spread throughout the earth.

9. The first human being
- The first human being
Adam was the first man, and Eve was the first woman (Genesis 1:26–27; 5:2–3). They were created in God’s image and lived for hundreds of years in a perfect environment, but they rebelled against God by partaking of the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. After this act, Adam and Eve lost their immortality—they got old and died (Genesis 3:17–19).

11. The first murderer
The story of Cain and Abel is found in the book of Genesis. Cain was Adam and Eve’s firstborn son, who committed the first murder in history when he killed his younger brother Abel out of jealousy. This was the first murder ever committed on earth, and it led to God excluding Cain from fellowship with him for eternity (Genesis 4:10-15). In other words, he was banished from heaven and cast away from God because of his sinfulness.
Cain killed Abel by striking him with a stone so hard that it caused him to bleed to death (Genesis 4:8). The Bible never explicitly states how old they were at this time; however, we can infer that they were fairly young since they were likely still living in Eden together with their parents.
13. The second son of Adam and Eve who died because he was wicked
Cain murdered Abel because he was jealous of Abel. He was a farmer and his brother, who tended sheep, offered sacrifices to God. Cain was angry that God accepted the gift from Abel but not from him so he killed his brother.
Adam and Eve were both upset by this act, since they had hoped their children would be good like them. Cain was banished from the garden forever after killing his brother (Genesis 4:11).
