The people of the Old Testament's era
worshipped God with sacrifice
Sacrifice was a very important ritual
so the preparation and execution
required much care
Now
let's take a look at
brothers preparing sacrifice
Adam and Eve had two sons
First is Cain, a farmer
Second, Abel, a shepherd
It's time for dinner
Why aren't these boys coming
It's sacrifice day tomorrow
They must be busy preparing for that
Gosh I'm hungry
Give me food
Alpha male Cain
He can just break doors
if it blocks his way
Mom, dad
Look
My sheep had its first baby
Isn't it so cute?
How cute
That's great
This sound is Cain eating
What do you think?
Won't God love it if I
sacrifice this first lamb?
Right?
How nice
That's a great idea
You must always put all your heart in
when sacrificing for God
You got it?
Yes
Let me remind you
that this is a sound from a human
Cain
Why won't you answer?
Don't worry
I prepared well as well. Mom
Give me some more sausages
This is so good
Gosh, slow down boy
No rush
I was so busy harvesting today
It was such a long day
Hmm
Adam seems worried if Cain
actually prepared well for the sacrifice
The next day
Ha
This must be enough
Yawn
I'm sleepy
It's so tiring, getting ready for sacrifice
from this early in the morning
Huh?
Bro
You're already here
What did you bring?
I just brought what I harvested
Let's just get it done
Sure
Two boys kneeling in front of the altar
They seem quite pious
What are they actually thinking about?
(God)
(Please accept what I'm giving you)
(Ugh)
(I have to cut all the rice after this)
(It's gonna take forever)
(So tiring)
(God)
(I sacrifice the lamb and oil)
(I give you the most precious things)
(So please accept my sacrifice)
(Why is he praying for so long?)
(He's gotta keep it short and neat)
There are always boys peeking at
other people praying
(Ugh)
Huh?
What?
Abel's altar caught fire
Means that God accepted Abel's sacrifice
Wow
God
Thank you
Ring ring
Yes mom
I'm on my way
Today God
Oh yes
I'll get tofu on the way
By the way mom
the sacrifice I prepared
No
It makes no sense at all
God
Why
you didn't accept my sacrifice?
Cain
Why are you angry about this?
I mean
I prepared offerings and prayed
Isn't that enough?
Think about why I accepted Abel's only
(Come on)
(It's pissing me off)
Was it only Abel that prepared hard?
I worked hard as well
and gave what I harvested
and he ignores mine?
What a crappy day
Abel gave first offspring as offering
and sacrificed with faith
Isn't that why God accepted Abel's?
Why isn't
sickle
not working today
Ugh my back
Huh?
Bro
Good luck
You got this
I'll get going first
Was it because of his anger towards God?
Now he's angry at his brother too
The more I think about it
it gets me even more pissed off
Why
would he
not accept
my sacrifice
How would he
accept my sacrifice?
Cain
Stop your evil thoughts now
(Today, God)
(accepted my sacrifice)
(I prepared so hard for it)
Huh?
Abel
Did you tend your sheep well?
Oh
Yes
Ha
You sure did
Hey
I saw on the way
a wolf with one of them on its mouth
What?
Which way did it go?
Come
Bro
Are you sure it's here?
I can't see it
Where is it
Hey
Not that way, go deeper this way
Huh?
Deeper?
Maybe this way
(Abel)
(Only if you're gone)
(God)
(will accept my sacrifice)
Bro
I don't think it's here
Cain ended up
killing his only brother
Abel
Cain
Where is your brother Abel?
I
I don't know
What am I
I'm not born to protect my brother
Cain
What did you do
I can hear your brother Abel's cry
from the ground
You killed your brother Abel
so you may be cursed
Even if you work hard farming
you won't harvest anything
and will wander for your life
God
If you kick me out of here now
everyone I see will try to kill me
No
You must be punished until death
If someone tries to kill you
they will be punished seven times more
Cain killing Abel
was the first murder of mankind
and the first parricide
Later
Adam's wife had another son
and said "God gave me another son
in the place of dead Abel"
and named him Seth
