Worksheet: Genesis – Cain and Abel
####
Answers with Explanations:
1.
gardener – *Cain's job*
→ Cain was a farmer or gardener. Genesis 4:2 says, "Cain was a farmer, and he brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the Lord."
2.
keeper – *Cain said: Am I my brother's ___?*
→ After killing Abel, Cain asks God, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9). This means, “Am I responsible for my brother?”
3.
firstborn – *Abel's offering was fat portions from the ___ of his flock*
→ Wait — this one seems off. The correct phrase is: *"fat portions from the firstborn of his flock."* So the answer should be
firstborn, which matches the word bank.
→ Abel offered the best of his flock — the firstborn animals (Genesis 4:4).
4.
shepherd – *Abel's job*
→ Abel was a shepherd, tending sheep (Genesis 4:2).
5.

6.
wanderer – *part of Cain's curse was that he would become a restless ___*
→ God cursed Cain to be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth (Genesis 4:12, 14). So, “wanderer” fits perfectly.
