ENCOUNTER WITH GOD: HE SEES US!

ADAM & EVE

8.  "And they heard the voice of the LORD God

 walking in the garden in the cool of the day:

 and Adam and his wife hid themselves from 

the presence of the LORD God amongst the 

trees of the garden." 

9.  "And the LORD God called unto Adam, 

and said unto him, Where art thou?" 

11.  "And he said, Who told thee that thou wast

 naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof 

I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" 

12.   "And the man said, The woman whom 

thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of 

the tree, and I did eat." 

13.  "And the LORD God said unto the woman, 

What is this that thou hast done? And the

 woman said, The serpent beguiled me, 

and I did eat." 

21.  "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." 

"Therefore the LORD God sent him forth 

from the garden of Eden, to till the ground

 from whence he was taken."

CAIN & ABEL

 and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from

 the LORD."

 was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."

3.  "And in process of time it came to pass, that

 Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an 

offering unto the LORD." 

4.  "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings

 of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the 

LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:" 

5.  "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not 

respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his 

countenance fell." 

8.  "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: 

and it came to pass, when they were in the

 field, that Cain rose up against Abel his

 brother, and slew him." 

9.  "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where

 is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know 

not: Am I my brother's keeper?"

10.  "And he said, What hast thou done? 

the voice of thy brother's blood crieth 

unto me from the ground." 

12.  "When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; 

a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be 

in the earth." 

13.  "And Cain said unto the LORD, 

My punishment is greater than

 I can bear." 

16.  "And Cain went out from the presence 

of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, 

on the east of Eden."

he ( Abel) obtained witness that he 

was righteous...
