Day 84: Cain and Abel, Descendants of Adam, and Noah's Favor with the Lord

In Day 84 of the Immerse Daily Bible Reading Experience, we explore the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain's jealousy leads to the first murder and his subsequent punishment by the Lord. The script then traces the genealogy from Adam through several generations, detailing the lives of Enoch, Methuselah, and Lamek, and ultimately leading to the birth of Noah. As humanity grows increasingly wicked, the Lord decides to limit human lifespan and contemplates destroying His creation. However, Noah finds favor in the eyes of the Lord. This episode captures the early generations of mankind and sets the stage for the story of the Great Flood.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
