Adam and Eve and their family offered sacrifices

• Primary manual 6, lesson 5

2

• God told Adam and Eve they must leave the
  Garden of Eden. They could not live there
  anymore. Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.

3
Adam and Eve worked hard to get food. They grew
older. They knew they would die someday because
now they are mortal.
4

• Heavenly Father does not visit with Adam and Eve
  each day. They are no longer in his presence.
  Adam and Eve knew good and evil.
• They had children. Sometimes they were happy.
  Sometimes they were sad.

5

• God gave Adam and Eve commandments. He said they
  should pray to him. God told Adam to make
  sacrifices to him. To make a sacrifice, Adam
  killed an animal. He burned the animal on an
  altar of stone.

6

• An angel came to Adam. He said Jesus would
  sacrifice his life for us someday. It would be
  his gift to us. The sacrifices helped Adam and
  Eve think about the sacrifice of Jesus.

7

• Adam and Eve had a son named Cain. He worked in
  the fields. As Cain grew, he rebelled against
  his parents teachings. He refused to obey God,
  and chose to follow Satan.

Cains rebelliousness made Adam and Eve very
unhappy. They loved Cain very much and hoped he
would become a righteous man.
8

• Adam and Eve had another son, named Abel. Abel
  took care of the sheep. He was obedient. He
  followed the teachings and example of his
  parents. He received the priesthood and used it
  righteously.

9

• God spoke to Cain and Abel. Abel loved God and
  kept His commandments, but Cain mocked God,
  saying, Who is the Lord that I should know him?
  Cain loved Satan more than God.

10
Abel obeyed God and brought the new born lambs of
his sheep and offered them as a sacrifice to the
Lord. Abel had faith in God he believed that
Gods son, Jesus Christ, would one day sacrifice
his life for all mankind.
11

• Satan commanded Cain, Make an offering unto the
  Lord. For his sacrifice Cain brought crops from
  his field. God could not accept Cains offering
  because Cain did not have faith in God. In
  giving his sacrifice, Cain was obeying Satan, not
  God.

Satan knew Cains offering would not be accepted,
and he was pleased that he had led someone to do
wrong.
12

• Cain was angry because his offering was not
  accepted, but the Lord still loved him. The Lord
  told Cain that if he would make the right kind of
  offering, He would accept it. The Lord warned
  Cain that Satan wanted him and he would come
  under Satans power if he did not obey the Lords
  commandments.

13

• Cain became even more angry and refused to listen
  to the Lord. This bought Adam and Eve greater
  sorrow, for Cain had chosen wickedness instead of
  righteousness.

14
Cain was jealous that Abels offering had been
accepted, but his had not. He was also jealous
of Abels sheep and wanted them.
The more he thought about his brother, the more
Cains hatred and anger grew.
15

• Satan continued to teach and tempt Cain in the
  ways of wickedness, saying, Swear that thou wilt
  obey me and shalt tell no one, and I will
  deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.

16

• Then Cain went out into the fields to find his
  brother. While the talked Cain killed Abel.
  Cain believed Satan. He thought no one would
  find out that he had murdered his brother.

17

• But the Lord came to Cain and said, Where is
  Abel, thy brother? Cain lied I know not. Am
  I my brothers keeper? The Lord spoke again
  What has thou done? The voice of they brothers
  blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now
  thou shalt be cursed.

18

• Satan had lied to Cain. When Cain realized that
  the Lord knew what he had done, he tried to blame
  someone else he said, Satan tempted me.

19

• The Lord told Cain that because he had rebelled
  and had killed Abel, he would be shut out form
  the presence of God. He would be hunted and
  chased and would never have a home upon the earth.

When thou tillest the ground it shall not
henceforth yield unto thee her strength. A
fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the
earth. Moses 537
20

• Cain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater
  than I can bear. From thy face shall I be hid,
  and it shall come to pass, that everyone that
  findeth me will slay me.
• But the Lord did not want Cain to be killed. He
  set a mark upon Cain so that any people who saw
  him would know that they must not harm him.

Cain was punished by being shut out from the
presence of the Lord. He, his wife and many of
his brothers left Adam and Eve and went to live
in the land of Nod where they continued to be
wicked.
