Day 4 - Genesis : Chapter 4

We don't have approval to rollout code today. There are still some bugs pending. If we get quiet period approval today, we might be in trouble. Well, I'll just have to say that we cannot rollout today and give explanations. I promise self often that I will not check work the moment I get up but I did today. It was the thought that I got up with.

Genesis 4

This chapter begins with the story of Cain and Abel - children of Adam and Eve. Cain becomes a farmer and Abel a hunter. They give offerings to God and he accepts Abel's but rejects Cain's. Win of Non-Veg or Veg ? May be Cain's food was not cooked well. Anyway, since Cain is rejected he is furious, so furious that he kills his brother. God had warned him against this but he did it anyway. So God punishes him to be a wanderer but puts a mark of protection on him when he says that he could be killed.

Descendants of Cain are mentioned after this. First man to have 2 wives - Lamech is also mentioned at the end. He commits the second murder and says "If seven lives are taken to pay for killing of Cain, seventy seven will be taken for mine." Either he was too haughty or he had too much of favour from God.
