Why did God really reject Cain's offering? What was the murder weapon? And how did Cain eventually die?
In this in-depth study of Genesis chapter 4, Christopher Enoch uncovers the details of the story of Cain and Abel that you won't find in most Bibles. By comparing the Masoretic text with more ancient manuscripts like the Septuagint and extra-biblical sources like the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees, we explore the dramatic events of the world's first family.
We'll tackle the tough questions:
Was it really about a "blood sacrifice," or was there another reason God favored Abel's offering?
What crucial sentence is missing from Genesis 4:8 in modern Bibles?
What argument led to the first murder?
What was the "Mark of Cain"?
How did Cain die? Ancient texts offer a shocking and violent account of his final days.
Join us as we analyze the scriptures, compare the ancient texts, and piece together a more complete picture of Cain, his crime, his curse, and his lineage.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
