4160 B.C. Creation of all things. Adam ( taken from red earth). Eve ( living).

 Birth of Cain    “AND ADAM knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.” (Genesis 4:1)

Birth of Abel     ” And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.” (Genesis 4:2)

* The meaning of each Patriarch’s name is printed in brackets.

Adam, in the Hebrew language means, “red”. It is believed that Adam was formed from red clay.” And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”(Genesis 2:7)

Eve signifies the “mother of all living things”. ” And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” ( Genesis 2:20-23)
