SRB26
Därefter födde hon hans bror, Abel. Abel blev en fåraherde, och Kain blev en åkerbrukare.
SKB
Och hon fortsatte genom att föda hans bror Abel (hebr. Hevel – betyder vindpust/meningslöshet). Abel vallade får (blev fåraherde) medan Kain brukade marken (blev en jordbrukare). [Förutom Kain, Abel och deras tredje son Set, fick de många söner och döttrar, se 1 Mos 5:3-4. Det hebreiska namnet Kain låter nästan likadant som det hebreiska qanah, som betyder köpa, få och skapa. Här är ett exempel på en ordlek då båda dessa ord används i vers 1. Abel betyder andetag, dimma, rök – dvs. något kort och flyktigt. Förutom den bokstavliga betydelsen finns även meningslöshet, fåfängligt och tomhet i ordet, se Pred 1:2. Kanske Eva var missmodig efter första sonen som inte visade sig vara löftet i 1 Mos 3:15. En annan möjlig etymologi är att ordet anknyter till det Akkadiska Ap/blu som betyder son.]
