The most important question: which child did he try to kill? Was it Isaac, the son he fathered with his barren wife? Or was it Ishmael, the son he fathered with his wife’s handmaiden?
Adam and Eve were the first humans.
They beget Cain and Abel.
Cain kills Abel.
Then he wanders around, meets his wife and builds a city ???
Most of the bible makes no sense, except in a symbolic way.
In Islam, iirc, it’s Ishmael. Islam traces a lot back to Hagar and Ishmael - one of the stops on the Hajj is the spring that God made to keep Hagar alive when Sarah drove her out.
