Grade 2 | SCRIPTURE STUDY

WEEK 3 • STUDENT TEXTBOOK • DAYS 11–15

Read each passage aloud from the King James Version with a parent or teacher, then study the worked example. Answer the day’s questions in the Week 3 Practice Workbook.

The KJV writes LORD for Yahuah, God for Elohim, Jesus for Yahusha, and Holy Ghost for Ruach HaQodesh. Scripture quotations are printed exactly as they appear in the King James Version.

Day 11: Two Brothers

Read aloud: Genesis 4:1-2 (KJV)

Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Each brother had his own work.

Abel kept sheep. Cain worked the ground, growing crops. Both kinds of work were useful. Remember that Yahuah sent Adam forth to till the ground, so Cain did the same work as his father.

Worked example, Genesis 3:23 (KJV): “Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.”

Question: Why did the LORD God send Adam forth from the garden?

Find the word to after the garden of Eden.
Read on: to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Worked answer: To till the ground from whence he was taken.

Day 12: Two Offerings

Read aloud: Genesis 4:3-5 (KJV)

Each brother brought an offering to Yahuah. An offering is a gift brought to Him.

Cain brought fruit of the ground. Abel brought the firstlings, the firstborn of his flock, and the fat of them. The text says Yahuah had respect to Abel and his offering, but not to Cain and his offering. Read carefully to see what each brother brought.

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

Question: Who was a keeper of sheep?

Find the words keeper of sheep.
Look just before them: Abel was a keeper of sheep.

Worked answer: Abel.

Day 13: Cain’s Anger

Read aloud: Genesis 4:5-8 (KJV)

When Yahuah did not respect Cain’s offering, Cain became very angry, and his face showed it.

Yahuah spoke to Cain. He asked why he was angry, and told him that if he did well he would be accepted, but if he did not do well, sin lay at the door. Yahuah gave Cain a warning and a way to do right. Sadly, Cain did not listen, and he rose up against his brother Abel.

Worked example, Genesis 4:3 (KJV): “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.”

Question: What did Cain bring as his offering?

Find the word offering in the verse.
Read the words before it: of the fruit of the ground.

Worked answer: Of the fruit of the ground.

Day 14: Am I My Brother’s Keeper?

Read aloud: Genesis 4:9-12 (KJV)

Yahuah asked Cain where his brother was, just as He had asked Adam, Where art thou? Again Yahuah began with a question.

Cain answered, I know not, and asked a rude question back. Yahuah answered, What hast thou done? and said that the voice of his brother’s blood cried unto Him from the ground.

Worked example, Genesis 3:9 (KJV): “And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”

Question: What question did the LORD God ask Adam?

Find the question mark in the verse.
The question is Where art thou?

Worked answer: Where art thou?

Day 15: Independent Check: Cain Goes Out

Read aloud: Genesis 4:13-16 (KJV)

Today you will read a new verse and answer on your own.

Use what you practiced this week: find the exact words, and connect this verse to what you learned about Adam and about Cain.

Worked example, Genesis 4:5 (KJV): “But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”

Question: What happened to Cain’s countenance?

Find the word countenance.
Read what comes next: fell.

Worked answer: His countenance fell.
