Cain and Abel, sons of Adam and Eve, made offerings to God. God favoured Abel’s gift, leading a jealous Cain to kill his brother. As punishment, God made Cain a wanderer but marked him for protection. Humanity multiplied, with long lifespans detailed up to Noah.

As people grew wicked, God planned a flood to cleanse the earth but spared righteous Noah. Noah built an ark, saving his family and animals. After forty days of rain, the ark rested on Mount Ararat. Noah confirmed the land was dry, and they left the ark.
