And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against his brother and slew him.
- Gen. 4:8 (KJV)
Instead of correcting his disobedience towards God with the offering, Cain allowed his jealousy to boil over which resulted in Cain killing his brother Abel. How did Cain kill Abel? He killed Abel by hitting Abel with his bare hands. In this verse, the word slew means to hit someone with the intention of murder. No weapons were involved because Abel would not have went to talk with Cain if Cain was holding something.
Numerical Breakdown: (4) To gain instruction, talk with others properly. (8) Choose to have a new beginning in order to see results. (3) To walk in the Spirit, do not choose to be around those who disobey God.
