From the " I wonder if" bible story: Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and beat him and cut Abel hand and foot. Abel told him to hear God because if you don't, you treat everyone as competition. Abel took off to build Egypt and became Emperor Shabaka. Abel did not die but spit on the ground and let the the blood from his cut make seven drops of blood mix with the earth and buried it by a mustard tree. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear for beating him. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him but eventually they did since why should you tolerate people who would kill and divide the family or community over their own childish fears of rejection and need to be accepted? 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden. 17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah. Cain's children in the presence of Shabaka's(Abel) children always felt that nothing they do was ever good enough and felt an unusual need to be accepted while they also wanted to be him or her and just take their production and work as their own. Cain's descendants eventually became annoying petty thieves in Europe and by 1567, most of them were being sent to the new world as individuals who committed one of 19 certain crimes that would get you sent to the new world which was intended, somewhat, to be a penal colony.
