Source Critical reasoning is exemplified in the 1952 Interpreters Bible (which has since been completely redone), and exegesis from Cuthbert Simpson yielding the conclusion that the J source never named Adam (only “man”) and the first child born to humanity, per J, was Seth. The J has no Cain and Abel. Cuthbert goes on to say that the Priestly source P is the basis of almost all of chapter 5, but that P borrows from Yahwist J. The source for the Cain line in chapter 4 is J, and that for the Seth line in 5 is P, which borrows from J. They have also featured in TV series and, if allegorically, on the big screen.

[6] And the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother? And he said, "I do not know: am I my brother's keeper?" [7] And He said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the soil. And so, cursed shall you be by the soil that gaped with its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand. If you till the soil, it will no longer give you strength. A restless wanderer shall you be on the earth." And Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is too great to bear. Now that You have driven me this day from the soil I must hide from Your presence, I shall be a restless wanderer on the earth and whoever finds me will kill me." And the Lord said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance." And the Lord set a mark upon Cain so that whoever found him would not slay him.
