Cain and Abel are not twins. The Hebrew translation of Genesis 4:2 starts with the term "And again" as time had passed. The absence of the term "she conceived and bore" in Gen.4:1 let to the tradition that Cain and Abel were twins. A second proof is that Cain follows his father's occupation of agriculture. Abel is a shepherd. The Bible regularly portrays younger siblings as more virtuous and has a special fondness for shepherds, including Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. Rabbinic interpretation might have suggested a defined span of time, but I saw nothing in the Bible that expressed an actual difference in birth dates. | ||||||
