are not animals" and cain touched a burning stick to his forehead, so that they would know him by its mark. cain was strong and swift, and he fled from the river, into the east. he ran for six days, pausing only to eat or rest. on the seventh day, he ascended to the top of a mountain. there god showed him a vision of a great city of peace, surrounded by fields and orchards, which the children of abel would have made. cain looked in wonder at his vision until it faded with the setting sun, for there were then no other people outside of africa. and cain continued thus in his exile. six days he walked and gathered food, but every seventh day he had visions of cities which god had planned for the children of abel. cain wandered for twenty years, and then he knew the whole vastness of the worl

, and human sang, and rama and jashar danced. and god married cain and jashar that night, under the stars "in this way" human said "we shall always rejoice when two branches of my family are rejoined" then they feasted late into the night, while human foretold joys and sorrows, and cain described his visions. everything that human said was true, but cain spoke only of the world of the children of abel. so human was the first true prophet, and cain the first false prophet, but they dwelt together as kinsmen for all the rest of their days. 3. at that time, giant beasts lived in every part of the world, and they consumed trees and made a devastation throughout the wilderness. but seth taught his sons to hunt as he had learned from abel, because god told them that children must learn from thei

sent by humans into outer space, and it could have been observed by intelligent extraterrestrial life, if there were any nearby in the galaxy; but there are no such observers. the first human couple is utterly alone, in the middle of the vast stage that god has made for them. so they come together by their fire and, in doing so, they begin the first human family. 2. as in genesis, the second son abel is favored because of the meat that he brings, but his sacrifice to god here becomes dinner for his mother and her youngest son. human's crippled arm creates a power vacuum and an apparent absence of authority that causes the sibling rivalry between cain and abel to escalate into a mortal struggle. like the european powers of 1914, cain and abel find themselves in a deadly situation where who

d arm creates a power vacuum and an apparent absence of authority that causes the sibling rivalry between cain and abel to escalate into a mortal struggle. like the european powers of 1914, cain and abel find themselves in a deadly situation where whoever attacks first would be expected to win, and so the fear of a fatal conflict can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. cain feels that he must kill abel in a surprise attack, because abel anticipates the possibility of such an attack and may try to save himself by killing cain in a surprise attack instead. cain may have expected that, when his brother was dead and he was the strongest individual in the clan, then he would become its leader. his power bid fails, however, because eve and human find at last a solidarity and strength in the proce

humans fade from our view, we get a few last glimpses into their lives. the marriages of seth's sons to their cousin-nieces remind us that incest taboos might have to be less tightly defined when humanity was so small. we perceive the importance of the aged matriarch eve in holding the human family together, as the family scatters after her death. we learn of seth's position as a cultural heir to abel, when seth passes abel's hunting techniques on to the next generation. but this generation is also moved by cain's visions, and so we find contributions of both cain and abel in the developing human culture. the most important fact that we are told here about these early humans is that they take education of children as a commandment from god. the wording of the commandment("god told them tha

at this is the first explicit mention of any specific commandment, following only the general commandment "let there be another story" so we see that passing traditions from generation to generation is a necessary prerequisite for humanity to build a story that is worthy of god's creation. the importance of cultural heritage may suggest another interpretation of cain's visions. we understand that abel died without giving his genes to biological children, but perhaps we should interpret the phrase "children of abel" as referring to his cultural heirs, who have received his lore and his ideas. after all, genes and ideas both are patterns that can endure across generations (one stored in chromosomes and the other in synapses. so in a cultural sense, people of seth's family might also be child

res that she must bear her children in sorrow and pain and that the race will die. it has always been a great stumbling block to bible commentators as to what connection there could be between the eating of an apple, death, and painful parturition; but when we are acquainted with the chaste expressions of the bible, which designates the creative act by such passages as "adam knew eve and she bore abel "how can i bear a child seeing i know not a man" et cetera, it is very evident that the tree of knowledge is a symbolical expression for the creative act. then it is plain that the serpents taught eve how to perform the creative act and that eve instructed adam. therefore, christ designated the serpents as harmful while admitting their wisdom. to get at the identity of the serpent it is neces

e lead of the divine ruler. the masonic legend has points of variance from as well as agreement with the bible story. it states that jehovah created eve, that the lucifer spirit samael united with her but that he was ousted by jehovah and forced to leave her before the birth of her son cain, who was thus the son of a widow. then jehovah created adam, to be the husband of eve, and from their union abel was born. thus from the beginning there have been two kinds of people in the world. one begotten by the lucifer spirit samael and partaking of a semi-divine nature imbued with the dynamic martial energy inherited from this divine ancestry, is aggressive, progressive, and possessed of great initiative, but impatient of restraint or authority whether human or divine. this class is loath to take

rogenitor samael and given by him to their ancestor cain. their past history is a struggle with adverse conditions, their achievement is victory wrested from all opposing forces by indomitable courage and persistent effort, unchecked by temporary defeat. on the other hand while cain, governed by divine ambition, toiled and tilled the soil to make two blades of grass grow where there was only one, abel, the human progeny of human parents, felt no urge or unrest, himself a creature of jehovah through adam and eve; he was perfectly contented to tend the flocks also created by god and to accept a livelihood from their divinely begotten increase without labor or exercising initiative. this docile attitude was most pleasing to the god jehovah, who was extremely jealous of his prerogative as crea

n all oriental countries; and in the most primitive religions, whose traditions are still extant, he (or she) appears as the supreme god. after the subjection of egypt by the stranger kings and the consequent introduction into the country of sabianism, the dual creative force residing in the sun is represented by seth. we are told that seth signifies "appointed or put in the place of the murdered abel" that there is some deep mystery connected with this subject none who has studied it carefully can help observing. according to the story of creation as set forth in the jehovistic account, on saturday night, after god had finished his work, and immediately after he had commanded adam to "be fruitful" he presents him with a staff, which we observe is handed down to enoch and all the patriarch

gency from aleim to adam, the worship of an abstract principle, or of a trinity composed of the powers of nature, was losing its hold on the minds of the people, and the creative power, or the reproductive energy in human beings, was rapidly taking the place of the older deity. these higher principles forgotten, adam, or man, had become the creator. it is not improbable that the terms adam, cain, abel, and seth have an esoteric meaning which for ages was known only to the priests. from various facts which in later times are being brought forward regarding the ancient myths of genesis, it is believed that these names originally stood for races of men, and that subsequently certain religious doctrines came to be attached to them. the offering of fruit by cain, the elder brother, who was a ti

hich for ages was known only to the priests. from various facts which in later times are being brought forward regarding the ancient myths of genesis, it is believed that these names originally stood for races of men, and that subsequently certain religious doctrines came to be attached to them. the offering of fruit by cain, the elder brother, who was a tiller of the ground, and that of flesh by abel, who was a keeper of sheep, indicates a quarrel which ended in the death of the latter. after the death of abel, or after one of these principles or sects was subdued, the older religion was revived, and seth, as the aleim, or as the creative power within the sun, was "appointed" or again worshipped. it would seem that seth was appointed to represent the third person in the ancient trinity--t

il principle, or the devil. the cold of winter, the darkness of night, and water, were finally set forth as the trinity. regarding cold, darkness, and water, or darkness, mist, and tempest, hippolytus observes "these the sethian says are the three principles of our system; or when he states that three were born in paradise- adam, eve, the serpent; or when he speaks of three persons, namely, cain, abel, seth, and again of three others, shem, ham, japheth; or when he mentions three patriarchs--abraham, isaac, jacob; or when he speaks of three days before the sun, etc" the same writer says that their entire system is derived from the ancients; that, antecedent to the eleusinian mysteries, were enacted by them the ceremonies connected with the worship of the great mother.[86 [86] hippolytus, r

nter were seth, as were also the genial powers of spring. we are informed by various writers that typhon seth was feminine. she was the early god of the jews. in other words, the jews were formerly worshippers of a female deity. jehovah, iav, was originally female. although the secret meaning of all the allegories contained in the old testament is not fully understood, still the belief that cain, abel, and seth represented the self-triplicated deity at a time when the idea of man as a creator had been accepted, or when his power to reproduce was becoming the highest idea of a creative force, is consistent with what is known of the cabala of the jews, or of the esoteric meaning of the jewish scriptures formerly known only to the priests. in other words, the ancient doctrines, the true meani

ved from the ravages of a flood in an ark or ship. the fact is observed that the theogonies and kosmogonies of all peoples have reference to a flood or to the renewal of life after the destruction of the world, and that the great father who is preserved, and who comes forth from an ark or ship with the seeds of a former world, represents the beginning of a new era. adam with his three sons, cain, abel, and seth, noah with his triad, shem, ham, and japheth, menu and his triple offspring, and so on, all mean exactly the same thing, namely, the renewal of life at the close of a cycle, or manwantara. from the traditions extant in nearly every quarter of the globe, it would seem that, prior to the so- called flood in the time of noah, man, as a creator, had not to any extent been worshipped, bu

th. as time progressed and israel became a political force in its own right, the esoteric teachings were passed by secret brotherhoods such as the qadesh. this lineage of the esoteric wisdom is sometimes known as the sethian tradition, both the essenes and gnostics emphasised this unique designation. it was used in the sense of the genealogy of genesis, where seth was the replacement for murdered abel and he represented the pure wisdom. cain, on other hand, represented a fallen lineage, he was considered a tool of the demiurge- an archon in flesh. this conflict is important because it forms the very foundation of our understanding of the origins of the kabbalah. in ancient israel we have the sethian form of kabbalah, the ariosophic mysteries (ario meaning aryan and sophic meaning wisdom, w

h therefore [isaac reasoned that esau, the personification of] the snake, was fit to receive the blessings. since, in isaac fs eyes, jacob had not done his job by rectifying reality, he was in a low state, and therefore esau, his nemesis, was in an exalted state, fit to receive and capitalize on the blessings. esau, after all, is a reincarnation of cain, and that is why [cain] killed his brother abel with his mouth, as is known. 4 genesis 21:9. 5 bereishit rabbah 53; zohar 1:118b. 6 genesis 17:18. 7 bava batra 16a. 8 2 samuel 17:25. 9 1 chronicles 2:16. 10 1 chronicles 2:17. the arizal on parashat toldot (2) 127 he bit him profusely, not knowing where his soul would leave him.11 esau is the image of a wild man gwhose game was in his mouth. h12 this is the meaning of:13 ghe called esau, hi

generations of mankind] forced the divine presence to ascend [out of the physical world] to the seventh heaven, because of their sins.1 adam and eve caused the divine presence to ascend from the physical world to the first (i.e, lowest) heaven when they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. cain caused the divine presence to ascend from the first to the second heaven when he killed his brother, abel. the generation of enoch caused the divine presence to ascend to the third heaven when they introduced idolatry into the world. the generation of the flood caused the divine presence to ascend to the fourth heaven because of their social and sexual sins. the generation of the tower of babel caused the divine presence to ascend to the fifth heaven by declaring war on g-d. the generation of sod

leave his wife and sons with jethro. gjethro, the father-inlaw of moses, took zipporah, moses f wife, after he had sent her back [to him, as well as her two sons.the first one fs name being gershom cand the other one fs name being eliezer. now, jethro and [moses f] sons and wife ccame to moses, to the desert wherein he was encamped, at the mountain of g-d. h1 it is necessary to know that cain and abel personified aspects of the two yesods of abba and ima as they are manifest within z feir anpin. cain derived from the yesod of ima concealed [within z feir anpin, while abel derived from the yesod of abba concealed [within z feir anpin, before it becomes revealed further down. as we have explained previously, yesod is the drive for self-actualization that the preceding sefirot assume as they

spelled alef-hei-yud-hei. when it is spelled out, and the hei fs are spelled out with the letter yud, we have: alef alef-lamed-pei 1+ 30+ 80 111 hei hei-yud 5+ 10 15 yud yud-vav-dalet 10+ 6+ 4 20 hei hei-yud 5+ 10 15 161 the letter yud is associated with chochmah, so this spelling out of this name represents the will within chochmah to be manifest in creation. now, moses is [the reincarnation of] abel, and jethro is [the reincarnation of] cain [jethro] came [to moses] in order to rectify his having killed abel. our sages teach us that cain killed abel in order to take the extra twin-sister that was born with him. this extra twin is alluded to by the fact that in the verse describing the birth of abel, gand she gave birth as well to his brother [et achiv, 1 exodus 18:2-5. the arizal on para

o is [the reincarnation of] cain [jethro] came [to moses] in order to rectify his having killed abel. our sages teach us that cain killed abel in order to take the extra twin-sister that was born with him. this extra twin is alluded to by the fact that in the verse describing the birth of abel, gand she gave birth as well to his brother [et achiv, 1 exodus 18:2-5. the arizal on parashat yitro 300 abel [et havel, h2 the direct object [et] appears twice, while in the verse describing the birth of cain, gand she gave birth to cain [et kayin] h3 it appears only once, implying that he was born with only one twin-sister. although hebrew grammar technically requires that a direct object be preceded by the word et (which has no equivalent in english, this rule is often disregarded. furthermore, th

english, this rule is often disregarded. furthermore, the word et also occasionally means gwith. h therefore, when it is used to identify the direct object, it is often taken to allude to some additional entity implied together with the direct object. in this case, it implies that a twin sister was born with each of the two brothers, and since it appears twice in the verse describing the birth of abel, we infer that two twin sisters were born together with him (the fact that these twins were sisters may be indicated by the fact that the word et can also be read at, the feminine form of the pronoun gyou. h) these girls became the wives of cain and abel. the mystical meaning of these twins is as follows: the yesod of ima within z feir anpin shines into malchut of ima [malchut of ima] emerges

esod of ima, and is called leah. this is the twin-sister of cain, who, as we said, also issues from the yesod of ima. a twin of yesod of abba similarly issues from the light of malchut of abba [and is situated] behind the yesod of abba. a second twin is formed when the light of malchut of abba strikes the yesod of ima [but it is situated] behind the yesod of ima. these are the two twin-sisters of abel, who is derived from the yesod of abba. thus, whereas ima fs malchut produces one twin of its yesod, abba fs malchut produces two twins of its yesod. but since the second twin produced by malchut of abba is produced when its light hits that of yesod of ima, this second twin takes its place not behind yesod of abba where it gbelongs, h but behind yesod of ima, where was created. psychologicall

apt to go too far afield from the meaning of the initial insight. in contrast to this, binah needs only one self-actualization. now cain felt that the second twin, who was produced when the light of abba struck the light of ima, should be his, for the yesod of abba produced her by means of the yesod of ima, even if she was in essence derived from the light of abba. cain therefore rose up against abel and killed him. jethro, the reincarnation of cain, came to rectify this [error. binah, whose task it is to develop the flash of insight that is chochmah into a full-fledged intellectual development, must evince a measure of self-orientation, or what becomes.in later contexts.ego, in order to do its job. in contrast, the experience of chochmah is that of total self-abnegation in the face of th

ropriate not only its own intellectual development but the presence-of-chochmah within it as well. the consequences of this, as we have noted, can be dire: the whole initial insight of the message of chochmah can be lost in the overblown, out-of-control development of binah. this, evidently, is what happened with cain. his distorted logic convinced him that the proper thing to do was to eliminate abel, for the good of humanity. the g-dly message the world fs second generation was entrusted with.and to which cain thought he was being loyal.got lost in his unchecked reasoning. 2 genesis 4:2. 3 ibid. 4:1. the arizal on parashat yitro 301 now [moses f wife] zipporah personified this [second] twin, who was positioned behind the yesod of ima. she was therefore born to jethro, for she issued from

key of the creation in the books of moses and the symbol of all religion. moses left five books, and the law is complete in two testaments. the bible is not a history, it is a collection of poems, a book of allegories and images. adam and eve are only the primitive types of humanity; the tempter serpent is time which tests; the tree of knowledge is 'right; the expiation by toil is duty. cain and abel represent the flesh and the spirit, force and intelligence, violence and harmony. the giants are those who usurped the earth in ancient times; the flood was a great revolution. the ark is tradition preserved in a family: religion at this period becomes a mystery and the property of the race. ham was cursed for having revealed it. 32 nimrod and babel are the two primitive allegories of the des

lation of the destinies of the human soul. taken literally, it is an absurd and revolting story. did not st. augustine take literally the golden ass of apuleius? poor great men! 33 the history of isaac is another legend. rebecca is the type of the oriental woman, laborious, hospitable, partial in her affections, shrewd and wily in her manoeuvres. jacob and esau are again the two types of cain and abel; but here abel avenges himself: the emancipated intelligence triumphs by cunning. the whole of the genius of the jews is in the character of jacob, the patient and laborious supplanter who yields to the wrath of esau, becomes rich, and buys his brother's forgiveness. one must never forget that, when the ancients want to philosophize, they tell a story. the history or legend of joseph contains

t existences are then possible for us upon the earth; one fatal, the other free. the fatal being is the toy or instrument of a force which he does not direct. now, when the instruments of fatality meet and collide, the stronger breaks or carries away the weaker; truly emancipated beings fear neither bewitchments nor mysterious influences. you may reply that an encounter with cain may be fatal for abel. doubtless; but such a fatality is an advantage to the pure and holy victim, it is only a misfortune for the assassin. just as among the righteous there is a great community of virtues and merits, there is among the wicked an absolute solidarity of fatal culpability and necessary chastisement. crime resides in the tendencies of the heart. circumstances which are almost always independent of t

ee so clearly in his great picture of the last judgment; they are clinging and tenacious like drowning men, and free spirits must struggle energetically against them, that their flight may not be hindered by them, that they may not be pulled back to hell. this war is as ancient as the world; the greeks figured it under the symbols of eros and anteros, and the hebrews by the antagonism of cain and abel. it is the war of the titans and the gods. the two armies are everywhere invisible, disciplined and always ready for attack or counterattack. simple-minded folk on both sides, astonished at the instant and unanimous resistance that they meet, begin to believe in vast plots cleverly organized, in hidden, all-powerful societies. eugene sue invents rodin< churchmen talk

sent him forth from the garden of eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 3:24 so he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 4:1 and adam knew eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare cain, and said, i have gotten a man from the lord. 4:2 and she again bare his brother abel. and abel was a keeper of sheep, but cain was a tiller of the ground. 4:3 and in process of time it came to pass, that cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the lord. 4:4 and abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. and the lord had respect unto abel and to his offering: 4:5 but unto cain and to his offering he had not respect. and cain w

fering: 4:5 but unto cain and to his offering he had not respect. and cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 4:6 and the lord said unto cain, why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 4:7 if thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. and unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 4:8 and cain talked with abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that cain rose up against abel his brother, and slew him. 4:9 and the lord said unto cain, where [is] abel thy brother? and he said, i know not [am] i my brother s keeper? 4:10 and he said, what hast thou done? the voice of thy brother s blood crieth unto me from the ground. 4:11 and now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hat

great company. 50:10 and they came to the threshingfloor of atad, which [is] beyond jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 50:11 and when the inhabitants of the land, the canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of atad, they said, this [is] a grievous mourning to the egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called abel-mizraim, which [is] beyond jordan. 50:12 and his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 50:13 for his sons carried him into the land of canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of machpelah, which abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of ephron the hittite, before mamre. 50:14 and joseph returned into egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went

out of the city, hear, hear; say, i pray you, unto joab, come near hither, that i may speak with thee. 20:17 and when he was come near unto her, the woman said [art] thou joab? and he answered, i [am he] then she said unto him, hear the words of thine handmaid. and he answered, i do hear. 20:18 then she spake, saying, they were wont to speak in old time, saying, they shall surely ask [counsel] at abel: and so they ended [the matter] 20:19 i [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the lord? 20:20 and joab answered and said, far be it, far be it from me, that i should swallow up or destroy. 20:21 the matter [is] not so: but a man of mount ephraim, sheba the son of bichri b

akaz, and in shaalbim, and bethshemesh, and elon-beth-hanan: 4:10 the son of hesed, in aruboth; to him [pertained] sochoh, and all the land of hepher: 4:11 the son of abinadab, in all the region of dor; which had taphath the daughter of solomon to wife: 4:12 baana the son of ahilud [to him pertained] taanach and megiddo, and all beth-shean, which is by zartanah beneath jezreel, from beth-shean to abel-meholah [even] unto [the place that is] beyond jokneam: 4:13 the son of geber, in ramoth-gilead; to him [pertained] the towns of jair the son of manasseh, which [are] in gilead; to him [also pertained] the region of argob, which is in bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars: 4:14 ahinadab the son of iddo [had] mahanaim: 4:15 ahimaaz [was] in naphtali; he also took basmath t

t damascus, saying, 15:19 [there is] a league between me and thee [and] between my father and thy father: behold, i have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with baasha king of israel, that he may depart from me. 15:20 so ben- hadad hearkened unto king asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of israel, and smote ijon, and dan, and abel-beth-maachah, and all cinneroth, with all the land of naphtali. 15:21 and it came to pass, when baasha heard [thereof] that he left off building of ramah, and dwelt in tirzah. 15:22 then king asa made a proclamation throughout all judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith baasha had builded; and king asa built with them geba of benja

enant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and i [even] i only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 19:15 and the lord said unto him, go, return on thy way to the wilderness of damascus: and when thou comest, anoint hazael [to be] king over syria: 19:16 and jehu the son of nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king over israel: and elisha the son of shaphat of abel-meholah shalt thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy room. 19:17 and it shall come to pass [that] him that escapeth the sword of hazael shall jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of jehu shall elisha slay. 19:18 yet i have left [me] seven thousand in israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 19:19 so he departed thence, and found e

15:27 in the two and fiftieth year of azariah king of judah pekah the son of remaliah began to reign over israel in samaria [and reigned] twenty years. 15:28 and he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the lord: he departed not from the sins of jeroboam the son of nebat, who made israel to sin. 15:29 in the days of pekah king of israel came tiglath-pileser king of assyria, and took ijon, and abel-beth-maachah, and janoah, and kedesh, and hazor, and gilead, and galilee, all the land of naphtali, and carried them captive to assyria. 15:30 and hoshea the son of elah made a conspiracy against pekah the son of remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of jotham the son of uzziah. 15:31 and the rest of the acts of pekah, and all that he did, beho

bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 11:49 therefore also said the wisdom of god, i will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute: 11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 11:51 from the blood of abel unto the blood of zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily i say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. 11:52 woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 11:53 and as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently
