Unless we recognize the cultural context embedded in the Genesis story of Cain and Abel, the significance of Cain's rejection and consequent violence is often lost in translation. While many interpreters highlight the theme of sibling rivalry to explain Cain's murderous violence, Samantha Joo relates Cain's anger and shame to the social marginalization of Kenites in ancient Israel, for whom Cain functions narratively as an ancestor.
