Genesis4:20
Jabal - was the father - The inventor or teacher, for so the word is understood, 1Sam 10:12. He was the first who invented tent-making, and the breeding and managing of cattle; or he was, in these respects, the most eminent in that time. Though Abel was a shepherd, it is not likely he was such on an extensive scale.
