366. Verse 8 And Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. 'Cain spoke to Abel' means a passage of time. 'Cain', as has been stated, means faith separated from love, and 'Abel' means charity, the brother of faith, which is why he is twice called 'brother' in this verse. 'Field' means all that constitutes doctrine. 'Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him' means that separated faith annihilated charity.
