After this indiscretion, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden as punishment.[7]
After being cast out, Adam would father children with Eve, their first born sons were Abel and Cain. Cain would later kill his brother out of jealousy, however, and was thus branded the first murderer. After Abel's death and Cain's banishment, Adam fathered another son, Seth.
