Who Was The First Murderer In The Bible

In the Bible, the first murderer is Cain. According to a few sources, which can be debated, Cain is the son of Satan and Eve, and his brother Abel is the son of Adam and Eve. Cain murdered Abel because God preferred Abel's offering to God compared to Cain's. Out of envy, Cain committed this crime. After God found out about this act of Cain, he condemned Cain to wander on the earth. Cain got fearful for his life from other humans due to this act, so God put a mark on him as a warning to anyone who tried to kill him. This mark is known as the mark of Cain and looks like the number 7.
