Cain and Abel are both sons of Adam and Eve. Though they are brothers, they are not the same. Abel is a keeper of sheep while Cain is a tiller of the ground.

Abel,BiblicalFigure
Cain killing Abel 

The time came that they each brought offerings to the Lord. Cain brought fruits from the soil and offered them to God, while Abel offered selected fat firstlings of sheep. God respected Abel’s offering but not Cain’s and this angered Cain. Cain’s countenance fell. Eventually he slew his own brother, Abel. (Genesis 4:1-8 KJV)

The Bible does not give the age of Adam when Abel was born so he is placed on the Biblical Timeline chart between the creation of Adam (4004 BC) and the birth of Seth (3874 BC).

Cain and Abel’s offering

Time came when Cain and Abel presented their offerings before the Lord. Cain offered fruits from the ground, while Abel offered selected fat firstlings from his sheep.

Due to his actions, Cain was banished and fled to the land of Nod, east of Eden. Though he was cast out from the land where he shed his brother’s blood, God’s mercy was still with Cain.
