"First Book of Adam and Eve"

However, they wish to join you in
marriage to his ugly sister, because they hate you.
11 Now before they do that, I am telling you that you
should kill your brother. That way your sister will be left
for you, and his sister will be cast away."
12 And Satan departed from him. But the devil
remained behind in Cain's heart, and frequently aspired to
kill his brother.

Chapter LXXVII - Cain, 15 years old, and Abel 12 years old, grow apart.

1 But when Adam saw that the older brother hated the
younger, he endeavored to soften their hearts, and said to
Cain, "O my son, take of the fruits of your sowing and make
an offering to God, so that He might forgive you for your
wickedness and sin."
2 He said also to Abel, "Take some of your sowing and
make an offering and bring it to God, so that He might
forgive you for your wickedness and sin."
3 Then Abel obeyed his father's voice, took some of
his sowing, and made a good offering, and said to his
father, Adam, "Come with me and show me how to offer it
up."
4 And they went, Adam and Eve with him, and they
showed him how to offer up his gift on the altar.
