370. Verse 9 And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?

'Jehovah said to Cain' means a certain perceptivity coming from within, which acted as a dictate concerning charity, which is 'Abel your brother'. 'He said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?' means that faith regarded charity as worthless and was unwilling to be its servant. So it completely rejected anything that was a matter of charity. Such did their doctrine become.
