NETBible

But the Lord said, “What have you done?¹ The voice² of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!

NET Notes

¹sn What have you done? Again the Lord’s question is rhetorical (see Gen 3:13), condemning Cain for his sin.

²tn The word “voice” is a personification; the evidence of Abel’s shed blood condemns Cain, just as a human eyewitness would testify in court. For helpful insights, see G. von Rad, Biblical Interpretations in Preaching; and L. Morris, “The Biblical Use of the Term ‘Blood,’” JTS 6 (1955/56): 77-82.
