in the beginning

god created the heavens and the earth

and god said

let there be light and there was light

and god saw the light that it was good

and god divided the light from darkness

god created all things on the land in

the sea

and in the air

so

[Music]

[Music]

and god looked upon all he had created

and said

it

is good

and god said

let us make man in our own image

out of the dust of the earth man was

created

male and female he created them

and god placed the tree of knowledge of

good and evil in the garden

and told adam that he could eat from

every other tree in the garden but not

this one

if he did he would surely die

you told him to watch his brother and

not let him pick the fruit

didn't do it

smiling are you saying he lied to me

harder and learn from our mistakes

[Music]

[Laughter]

the water is refreshing isn't it

it is refreshing after a hard day

ah stop it

well i'll show you

mother

i've made a decision i'm going to work

with the sheep and goats full time kane

can handle the land

he likes to till the soil me i like the

hills the grasslands living out in the

open

i know that

the herds have increased

they need someone to tend them

you boys are so different

[Music]

your mother and i have been thinking

it's time you learn more about god in

his ways

god

who threw you out of the garden

from a beautiful place into this

difficult life as abel and i are living

and now you raise nothing but thorns let

me teach you

about god young thorne

[Music]

cain if you want to know god you must

seek him like you seek air

with all your might with your total

being with every ounce of strength you

have

even if it kills you seek him

god

god was kind and gentle with us

he talked to us

he told us things as we could understand

them

[Music]

he enjoyed adam even before he made me

from his side

he loved us so much

that's all mother

no

[Music]

there's so much we haven't told you

and i want to know everything and all

the details

and what is god like then

like the water he surrounds you like the

water he covers you totally on all sides

just as you were a moment ago

i should desire to breathe water then

these are serious matters you think you

are so smart

enough

enough

enough enough

get off

god told father he could eat everything

in the garden except the fruit from the

tree

everything

but nothing from the tree of the

knowledge of good and evil

the serpent started talking to me

he told me

i could be like god

knowing good from evil

the fruit looked so delicious

god had said you would surely die if you

ate from the tree

god told adam that not me

why did you take it

i wanted to know as much as adam

and be as wise as god

the fruit was beautiful

i took it in my hand

i smelt it

it was sweet

i peeled it

i nibbled then i took a big bite

and it was delicious

what happened

nothing happened she gave it to me and i

bit into it

that's it

at first yes

after a while

we lost something

we felt empty

we were ashamed of what we had done

suddenly we realized

we were naked

we strung fig leaves together and

covered ourselves

you were naked

in the beginning

we had no need of clothing in the garden

our life was carefree and our hearts

open

but when we disobeyed god

he knew immediately that we were

different

and that our behavior and relationship

had changed

but it was the serpent who made you do

it

he lied to you both

and this is the problem

we trusted the serpent

more than we trusted god

god came looking for us in the cool of

the

day we hid from him

we knew we were disobedient

we did it ourselves

then he cast us out of that perfect

garden

into this world

where we feel half dead without him

even after we broke his heart i know he

still loves us i know he still loves us

why else would he have made clothes to

cover our shame

so did god speak to you after that

sometimes

we think we hear him but it's only the

wailing of the wind

we of course

can see evidence of his presence all

around us

we see his works

but do not hear his voice

i'm going to think on this

i want to know this god

is he my god too

yes abel

he is creator of everything

then i will get to know him

you have always said that god will come

yes

but hope

is fading

like the memory of the garden

get your sheep out of my field

go abel able

the whole field is ruined leave them i'm

going to kill it away

i'm going to kill it

stop this at once

stop this at once

[Music]

how did this happen abel the pen must

not be strong enough to hold them the

fields are too inviting we'll get them

out of here i'm sorry father how does an

apology benefit me will this apology

bring back my crap what do you want stop

it he'll pay for this

he will pay for this

i'll compensate you

i tell you he will pay for this

i'll compensate you calm down calm down

he'll pay for this

he'll pay for this

he is always on edge

he doesn't let go of anger easily maybe

i should take the herd into the hills

for several weeks

i think that would be best

i think i'd better leave now go go

i wish this had never happened between

brothers

abel

is a good shepherd

and cain is a good farmer

abel does good work have you seen his

cloth

yes

it's very thick and warm

we really need this during the cold of

winter

we never used to have seasons like this

in the garden

yes

it is very strange how the leaves die in

the autumn

and come alive in the spring new and

green as if they had never died do you

remember

[Music]

in the garden spring was permanent

remember that little bird i found the

other day

i tried to warm it in my hands to see if

it would come back to life but it was in

vain

you know

i can't run as fast as i used to

[Music]

like the summer of my life is turning to

fall

and i'm getting just a little bit colder

i wish we could go backward and

cancel what we have done

i wish we could go back

this is what we must teach our boys

you can't go back

you can't undo things

[Music]

the field is ruined where's abel kane we

have plenty we don't need this i work

too hard in this field just to let

abel's sheep destroy it

i want to know what abel does

abel just wanders around with those

sheep all day

cain

you drink milk and eat meat

from his sheep

and he shares the wool with you

i'll give the wool back to him

i don't want to drink the milk or eat

the meat

i want my field back the way it was well

that can't be here sit and help us

i tell you

he'll pay for this

[Music]

ah

uh

[Music]

um

god of my father adam

thank you

i have overcome a great adversary by

your hand

what can i give

you what do you want in return

abel understood that he needed to bring

a pure sacrifice of thanksgiving before

god

[Music]

what are you doing

building an altar

how do you know this is what god wants

us to do

he told me

god told you yes

he commanded you yes

father you go along with this

yes

i think god spoke to him

[Laughter]

god spoke to him to do this

god said to bring the best of the land

it is the little lamb i saved it is pure

spotless

i think he wants to see who will bring

him the finest

i'll offer the best of what is in the

land

it's a competition i think we are to do

this as a family weight cane

for what

so that abel can shame me

no i see what's going on it's a

competition

[Music]

a competition

it's not like that at all

[Music]

competition

[Music]

look how big my altar is this is not a

competition kane oh but it is

a competition for the favor of god

so you really heard his voice

tell me what does it sound like

what does it sound like

not in my ears

not in the air exactly

more like through me

my whole body my whole being

how better was the wind speaking in soft

moans

i'm not doing this to show myself better

than you this isn't a competition well

we will see

okay we'll see

[Music]

so

[Music]

i'm ready

what are you doing

you've emptied all your storage

cane

able

cane able come to eat

[Music]

we'll see whose offering is favored by

your god is your god also and he is our

father's god and he is the god of

everything

so

is this the one able yes this is the one

which i saved

a very fine little lamb

[Laughter]

what are you doing you're going to cook

the lamb is god going to come down and

eat it

hmm

[Music]

mm-hmm

[Music]

uh

[Music]

and god accepted the offering of abel

and not the offering of cain

mine wasn't good enough for you

[Music]

you always favor my brother

you always favor my brother

then god spoke to cain

why are you angry

it is all over your face

if you do what is right won't you be

accepted

and if you do what is wrong

is it not sin at your door

sin is anxious to control you to shame

you

but you must be its master

uh

abel

abel

abel

so

uh

where is abel your brother

i do not know

am i my brother's keeper what have you

done

the voice of your brother's blood is

crying to me from the ground

enough

enough

enough

enough

enough and now you are cursed from the

ground which has opened its mouth to

receive your brother's blood from your

hand

when you cultivate the ground it shall

no longer yield its strength to you

you shall be a vagrant and wander on the

earth my punishment is too great to bear

look

you have cast me from the face of the

earth

i will disappear from your face

i will disappear from your face

from your face whomever kills cain

i will take vengeance on them sevenfold
