366、创世记4:8.该隐与他兄弟亚伯说话；他们正在田间的时候，该隐起来攻击他兄弟亚伯，把他杀了。
“该隐与他兄弟亚伯说话”表示一段时间。“该隐”表示与爱分离的信，如前所述；“亚伯”表示仁，即信的兄弟，这就是为何他在此处两次被称为“兄弟”。“田”表示构成教义的一切。“该隐起来攻击他兄弟亚伯，把他杀了”表示分离之信消灭了仁。

[NCE]366. Genesis 4:8. And Cain said to Abel his brother ... And it happened when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
Cain said to Abel means a length of time. Cain, as I said [337:3], symbolizes faith separated from love. Abel symbolizes charity, the brother of faith, which is why he is called brother twice here. The field symbolizes every point of doctrine. Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him means that a detached faith extinguished charity.
Potts(1905-1910) 366
366. Verse 8. And Cain spake to Abel his brother; and it came to pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. "Cain spake to Abel" signifies an interval of time. "Cain" as before stated, signifies faith separated from love; and "Abel" charity, the brother of faith, on which account he is here twice called his "brother." A "field" signifies whatever is of doctrine. "Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him" signifies that separated faith extinguished charity.
Elliott(1983-1999) 366
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.
Latin(1748-1756) 366
366. Vers. 8. Et dixit Cain ad Habel, fratrem suum: et erat, cum essent in agro, et surrexit Cain contra Habel fratrem tuum, et occidit illum. 'Quod dixerit Cain ad Habel' significat tractum temporis; per 'Cain' significatur, ut dictum, fides separata ab amore; per 'Habel' charitas, quae est frater fidei, quare etiam hic bis vocatur frater: 'ager' significat quicquid est doctrinae: 'quod surrexerit Cain contra Habel fratrem suum, et occiderit illum' significat quod fides separata exstinxerit charitatem.
