This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





cir. 3865 Cain talked with Abel, either,



1. Familiarly and friendly, as he used to do, thereby to make him secure and careless; or by way of expostulation and contention;



in the field, into which Abel was led, either by his own employment, or,



2. By Cain’s persuasion; this being a fit place for the execution of his wicked purpose.



Slew him, possibly with stone or club, or with some iron tool belonging to husbandry.
