Resumen:
This brief paper aims to reconsider Cains sinful deed in Genesis 4 in the light of what may be termed Yahwehs divine patronage, as expressed throughout the Old Testaments narrative as a whole. From this point of view, Cains first sin was not the envy towards Abel or the murder of his brother but rather the implicit disobedience of Yahwehs word and his lack of humility for accepting divine will.
