Hence, Cain killed Abel because of a woman, since from the side of a woman, the left side, he inherited the power of murdering, the side of SAM, which caused death to the entire world by seducing Adam and Eve with the tree of knowledge. Cain envied Abel for the Nukva, the additional Nukva that Abel had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meaning of the soul of Cain and Abel is that Abel is MI and Cain is ELEH. It is known that MI extend from upper AVI, and ELEH extend from YESHSUT, which are two females in AVI, lock and key. But they emanated to YESHSUT \u200eonly in the key, who is one Nukva. It follows that Cain, who was extended in the form of ELEH, had only one Nukva, the key. But Abel had two females, of the lock and of the key. This is why Cain envied Abel for his additional Nukva, the Nukva of the lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Hiya said, \u201cBut we see the reason for Abel\u2019s killing, as it is written, \u2018But to Cain and to his offering, He did not respond, and Cain became very angry,\u2019 for his offering was not accepted, and not because of a Nukva, as Rabbi Yehuda said.\u201d Rabbi Yehuda told him, \u201cSo it is that Cain was angered by his offering not being accepted, and everything was before him when he killed Abel, meaning the envy for the additional Nukva, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>459) \u201cAnd the Lord said unto Cain &#8230; If you do well, moreover; and if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door.\u201d The Creator told him, \u201cIf you improve your works then moreover.\u201d \u201cMoreover\u201d [which can also mean \u201cstrength\u201d in Hebrew] is as it is written of Reuben, Jacob\u2019s first born, \u201cReuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the first of my strength,\u201d since the firstborn always has merit and advantage in everything, and depends on his works. This is why the Creator said to him, \u201cIf you do well.\u201d \u201cAnd if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>458) \u201cAnd the Lord set a token for Cain.\u201d He placed on him one of the twenty-two letters of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":11756,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-11814","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | And the Lord Set a Token for Cain<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;And the Lord Set a Token for Cain&quot;
