What hast thou done?
The voice
of my brother's blood
is crying to you
from the ground.

THE OLD TESTAMENT
(a Parable)


And thence it shall be shown
how the Lordgod
soweth discord
and thus divideth mankind
into good and evil.
And Adam knew Eve his wife,
she conceived, and bare Cain.
Cain: Jürgen Baldiga
She said, I have gotten a man
from the Lord.
The Lordgod: Lina Androwna
And she again bare his brother Abel.
Abel: Ichgola Androgyn

CAIN AND ABEL



THE HARVEST


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

THE BIRTH


And in process of time it came to pass,
that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground
an offering unto the Lord.
And Abel, he also brought
of the firstlings of his flock
and of the fat thereof.

THE OFFERING


And thence it shall be shown
how the Lordgod
soweth discord
and provoketh strife
between brethren.
The Lord had regard
for Abel and his offering, ...
... but for Cain and his offering
he had no regard.
So Cain was very angry,
and his countenance fell.

THE MURDER


And the Lord said unto Cain,
Is it not thus:

THE MORAL


If thou art good,
thus canst thou freely raise thy head.
and if thou art not good,
sin lieth at thy door
like a demon.
And the man says unto the Lord,
Is it not rather so thus:
If thou art good,
then how canst thou
sow discord?
What have you done?
The voice
of my brother's blood
is crying to you
from the ground.
