KJB: Genesis Chapters 4-11

What mainly caught my attention in these chapters were the connection between the people and God. In the King James Bible, Cain and Abel who are brothers, go against eachother. As an example, “Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him” {Genesis, 4:8}, I think this was because of the alienation between Cain and the lord compared to Abel and the lord. The lord supported what Abel offered, while he did not support Cain as much, and this made him not support his brother. The King James Bible states, ” the Lord  has respect unto Abel and to his offerings. But unto Cain and his offerings he had no respect. Cain was very wrath and his countenance fell” {Genesis, 4:4-5}; This caught my attention because it depicts the way that Cain felt towards Abel, after Abel gained more success than him; his characteristic seemed a bit envious. I would say envious because Cain got angry with his brother, which made him separate himself from him, due to the more respect he received from his offerings.

What also caught my attention was in Noah’s Flood God seemed to have left Noah and his family take on Earth on their own for a bit, so that they could experience it, ” they went in and the lord shut him in” {Genesis, 8:16}. It caught my attention because it shows Noahs character as an individual. Noah seems to be obedient towards the Lord, “Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him” {Genesis, 7:5}. Noah seems determined and hardworking because he also tried to put his input on Earth while he was there, ” Noah opened the window of the ark, which he had made” {Genesis, 8:6}. Noah’s actions were intruiguing because of the way he obeyed what God commanded.
