In this episode, we read Genesis chapter 4 from the New International Version of the Bible. This passage highlights the influence of sin on human relationships. We find examples of rivalry, jealousy, murder, deception, polygamy and a cycle of revenge. God warns human beings to say "no" to sin, so that we do not experience negative natural consequences. Sadly, one verse in this passage has been mistranslated and misused to once again rationalize the male subjugation of women. That verse is Genesis 4:7. We examine the oldest available manuscript evidence related to this verse, so that patriarchal bias in translation and commentary can be removed.
