Abstract
The article analyzes the text of Genesis 4:1-16 from the point of view of the literary genre of crime (4:3-8) and punishment (4:9-15) and considers the climax of the story is the cry of the slain brother’s blood (4:10b). This exegetical-theological analysis of the theme of conflict between the brothers also takes into account the immediate context (Gen 2-3; 4:17-26) of the history of origins (Gen 1-11), as well as points of contact with the New Testament (Matt 5:23-24; Rom 12:21; 1 John 3:14).
