After some days, Kayin brought an offering to G-d from the fruits of the land.<\/strong> (B'reshit 4,3)<\/p>\n

Kayin (Cain), the first son of the first man, was also the first to initiate a sacrificial offering to G-d. A farmer, he brought his offering from the fruits of the land, the results of his own labors. His younger brother Hevel (Abel), a shepherd, followed in his footsteps, and also brought an offering to Hashem from what he did best: the first-born of his sheep.<\/p>\n

How were these sacrifices received by Hashem? The Torah is very clear: "G-d turned to Hevel and his offering, and did not turn to Kayin and his offering" <\/strong>(verses 4-5). Seeing that G-d had rejected his sacrifice, Kayin suffered terrible disappointment, shame, and frustration \u2013 leading him to commit the grave sin of smiting his own brother to death.<\/p>\n

Why, actually, was Kayin\u2019s offering not accepted? After all, he brought it totally voluntarily, and was the first to think of the idea altogether. To answer this, we must return to the story of the sin and punishment of his father Adam. After Adam ate from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, not only was he cursed, but the land, too, was cursed \u2013 apparently because of him: \u201cThe land is cursed for your sake\u201d <\/strong>(3,17). As a result, the land became overgrown with thorns and thistles, rendering agriculture very difficult: "Thorns and thistles it shall grow for you, and you will eat the grass of the field; by the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread." <\/strong>(verses 18-19)<\/p>\n

Hevel therefore decided to abandon working the accursed land, and went into the sheep-raising business. Kayin, on the other hand, chose the difficult mission of \u201crepairing the earth\u201d \u2013 a demanding challenge that required tremendous strengths. The first-born son, Kayin rose to the occasion, but despite his best efforts, the earth was not \u201crepaired,\u201d and his offering of fruits of the earth was not accepted.<\/p>\n

As we saw, G-d rejected not only the offering, but also Kayin himself: \u201c\u2026 and did not accept Kayin and his offering\u201d <\/strong>(verse 5). Why did Hashem reject Kayin as well?<\/p>\n

Kayin, it turns out, had great potential and tremendous strengths. But when he was tested with the rejection of his sacrifice, he misdirected them \u2013 towards murder. Seeing Kayin's lethal potential, G-d determined that he was not the right man for the critically important job of \u201crepairing the earth,\u201d and sent him far away from the earth: "You shall wander the land like a nomad" <\/strong>(4,12), without striking permanent roots in any location.<\/p>\n

Unclear Verses<\/em><\/p>\n

To understand this more deeply, let us quote a fascinating point in the name of the Talmudic Sage Isi ben Yehuda (Tr. Yoma, p. 52a):<\/p>\n

Five words in the Torah can be read either with the preceding passage or with the passage afterwards, and none of them can be resolved conclusively. They are: se'et, meshukadim, machar, arur, <\/em>and kam<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The first of these words is \u05e9\u05d0\u05ea, se'et<\/em>, from the description of Kayin\u2019s punishment for killing his brother:<\/p>\n

\u05d4\u05b2\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05ea\u05bc\u05b5\u05d9\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05e9\u05c2\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05ea<\/strong> \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1, \u05dc\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b6\u05ea\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea \u05e8\u05b9\u05d1\u05b5\u05e5…
For if you do good, then se'et<\/em> [it shall be forgiven]; and if you do not do good,
sin crouches at the door and you will lust for it, but you may rule over it. <\/strong>(4,7)<\/p>\n

Why does Isi ben Yehuda say this verse is unclear? Is it not obvious that the word se'et<\/em> applies to the beginning of the verse, "If you do good"<\/strong>? To apply it to the words that follow it, "if you do not do good," <\/strong>would mean that Kayin\u2019s sin will be forgiven if he does not do good \u2013 an illogical premise. Secondly, if the word is applied to the second phrase, this would leave the first phrase dangling with no conclusion!<\/p>\n

Rather, we must understand as follows: The word se'et<\/em> can apply to both phrases at the same time! Hashem is telling Kayin that there are two possible ways in which he could be forgiven:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Smoothly and easily, by virtue of his improving his ways and performing good deeds<\/li>\n
  2. Harshly, if he continues to sin – leading to failure, the learning of the appropriate lessons, and repenting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Both of these are possibilities and both lead to forgiveness. But the verse continues with a stern warning to Kayin: \u201cThere is a third possibility as well \u2013 and it is totally unacceptable: If you actually cave in to the tremendous forces within you, you might hurt others along the way\u2026 If you do not do good,<\/strong> you are liable to be caught by the sin crouching at your door. You must rule over your urges and strengths<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

    G-d is hinting to Kayin that He foresees how Kayin will not control his strengths, but will rather allow them to take over, bringing catastrophe upon both himself and his brother. As long as there is no sign that he can overcome his inclinations, there is no chance that he can rectify his father\u2019s sin and the curse of the land. With the curse of the land still in full force, an offering from its fruits cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n

    Noach, Man of the Land<\/em>
    <\/em>This brings us to the story of Noach. When he was born, his father Lemekh said:<\/p>\n

    \u05d6\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05de\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05c2\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b5\u05e2\u05b4\u05e6\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05df \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b5\u05e8\u05b2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc \u05d4'
    <\/strong>This [boy] shall comfort us from our work and the toil of our hands,
    from the land that was cursed by G-d. <\/strong>(5,29)<\/p>\n

    Lemekh prayed that his newborn son would succeed in repairing the accursed earth. And in fact, after the world was destroyed by the great Flood, Noach attempted to return to this ancient task, building an earthen altar upon which he offered an animal sacrifice. He thus intended to combine the efforts of both Kayin and Hevel, by taking earth, Kayin\u2019s expertise, as the basis for a sacrifice of animals, Hevel\u2019s specialty. This sacrifice was accepted willingly by Hashem:<\/p>\n

    \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d4' \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05e8\u05b5\u05d9\u05d7\u05b7 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05d7\u05b9\u05d7\u05b7 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d4'… \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b9\u05e1\u05b4\u05e3 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05dc\u05bc\u05b5\u05dc \u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05dd.
    Hashem smelled the pleasant aroma, and said:
    I will no longer curse the earth for<\/span> the man. <\/strong>(8,21)<\/p>\n

    The word \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8, translated here as \u201cfor,\u201d can also mean \u201cbecause of.\u201d That is, it can mean that the earth was punished because of man, or on his behalf. The same phrase was used previously in a similar context, when Adam was given his punishment:<\/p>\n

    \u05d0\u05b2\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b6\u05da\u05b8
    The earth will be cursed for\/because of<\/span> you <\/strong>(3,17)<\/p>\n

    Why should the earth have to pay the price for man\u2019s sin? The answer is that it is not being punished, but is rather being made to adapt to man\u2019s new level. That is to say: The earth provides for man\u2019s needs. It originally functioned on a high level, with ready-made trees to nourish high-level mortals. But after man was taken down a notch as a result of his sin, the earth was brought lower as well, so that man, on his new, low level, could still, somehow, enjoy its benefits \u2013 albeit \u201cby the sweat of his brow\u201d <\/strong>(3,19) \u2013 <\/strong>and not die. This is what is meant by "the earth will be cursed on your account."<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Accordingly, in the future, when man once again repairs his ways and his soul, the earth, too, will be raised up. We see this process beginning before our eyes: Working the land has been made easier with modern equipment, just as giving birth, Chava\u2019s punishment, has been made less painful by modern medicine. In addition, the status of women has been upgraded, and men no longer rule over them \u2013 the other aspect of women's punishment \u2013 as they once did. The world is coming closer to its final rectification of the sin of Adam and Chava, leading to its ultimate redemption.<\/p>\n

    The Grape Vineyard<\/em><\/p>\n

    After Noach built the altar and offered upon it animal sacrifices, he sought to take another step forward in his bid to repair the earth. He wished to bring it to a higher level, on which the earth would no longer serve only as an altar for sacrificial offerings, but would also provide the sacrifice itself. "Noach, man of the earth, began and planted a vineyard." <\/strong>(9,20) In short, he wished to accomplish what Kayin had tried to do, but failed.<\/p>\n

    Noach \u201cplanted\u201d himself in one set location on the earth, as opposed to the wandering Kayin, and planted a grape orchard there. His hope was that the wine he would thus produce would serve as an offering to G-d, just as wine would later serve for libations upon the Holy Temple altar. However, he failed dismally, and his hopes were dashed. Instead of offering the wine upon the altar, he drank of it and became intoxicated, ending up lying naked on the ground in disgrace.<\/p>\n

    Noach was thus the second person to discover the tremendous difficulty involved in repairing the earth and redeeming it from its curse. It was this that led our forefathers Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov to choose to be shepherds like Hevel, and not farmers of the earth like Kayin.<\/p>\n

    The Tower of Bavel<\/em><\/p>\n

    Five generations after Noach, during the times of Peleg, people decided to gather in one place and build a giant city, with a tower reaching to the sky: "They said one to another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly' \u2026 And they said, 'Let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" <\/strong>(11,3-4)<\/p>\n

    The potential for repairing the earth was here. They settled in a permanent location, and they worked with earth-based clay and bricks. Under these conditions, they could truly have constructed a Holy Temple for the sake of G-d\u2019s Name and His honor \u2013thus also ridding the earth of its curse. But they did not. Instead of building the tower for G-d\u2019s honor and enabling Him to dwell within it, they attempted to do the opposite: Enhance their own names, at G-d\u2019s expense. Once again, the earth, its rocks and bricks were desecrated.<\/p>\n

    Let us note that our holy forefathers did not build themselves houses, nor did they plant vineyards and work them. The time was not yet ripe for such permanence. Instead, they dwelled in tents and traveled from place to place with their livestock.<\/p>\n

    But there was one exception.<\/p>\n

    Yaakov's House<\/em><\/p>\n

    When Yaakov Avinu ran away from his brother Esav, he left the Land of Israel for the home of his uncle Lavan. He made a vow that if he would return safely, he would build a house for G-d: "And this stone that I have placed as a monument will become a house of G-d." <\/strong>(B'reshit 28,22)<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    His hope was that this would be a permanent House of G-d, instead of the tower built for idol worship by previous generations not far away (in Shin\u2019ar, near Lavan's hometown of Haran\/Aram Naharayim). It would thus be a great rectification of the curse of the earth and of the Tower of Bavel. Yaakov understood that the place on which he lay (when he dreamt of the ladder and the angels; B'reshit 28) was hallowed ground, and that the rectification of the land \u2013 via the construction of a permanent house for G-d \u2013 should start right there.<\/p>\n

    \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b7\u05e8: \u05de\u05b7\u05d4 \u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d6\u05bc\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d6\u05b6\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05d9\u05ea \u05d0\u05b1-\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d6\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd.
    Yaakov feared and said, "This place is replete with awe! It must be the House of G-d, and this is the gate to Heaven." <\/strong>(verses 16-17)<\/p>\n

    Years later, however, on his way home, he seemed to forget his oath and built a house for himself instead of a House of G-d: "Yaakov traveled to Sukkot, and built himself a house and huts for his livestock" <\/strong>(33,17). It was this sinful delay, the Medrash tells us (B'reshit Rabba to B'reshit 35,1), that led to his daughter Dina\u2019s fall into the hands of Shechem ben Hamor. In any event, as soon as he remembered, Yaakov hurried on to Beit El, where he did fulfill his vow, building a House of G-d. But the delay was significant; it was a lost chance to release the earth from its curse.<\/p>\n

    The Earthen Altar<\/em>
    <\/em>In Parashat Yitro, we read the instructions for building an altar. It should be made either of earth, or of stones:<\/p>\n

    \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05d6\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b8\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05c2\u05b6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9, \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05ea\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e0\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05b0\u05d4\u05b6\u05df \u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d7\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d4\u05b5\u05e0\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b6\u05d9\u05d4\u05b8 \u05d5\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05dc\u05b2\u05dc\u05b6\u05d4\u05b8.
    \u2026if you make Me an altar of stones, do not build them of hewn stones<\/span>,
    for you have raised your sword upon it and desecrated it. <\/p>\n

    <\/strong>\u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05ea\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b9\u05ea \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc \u05de\u05b4\u05d6\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05ea\u05b4\u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e2\u05b6\u05e8\u05b0\u05d5\u05b8\u05ea\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5
    <\/strong>And do not ascend via steps<\/span> to My altar,
    in order that your nakedness not be uncovered upon it.<\/strong> (Shmot 20,21-23)<\/p>\n

    Two admonitions are provided regarding the construction of the altar: It must not be made of stones hewn by metal utensils, and it must not have steps, but rather a ramp. These two prohibitions are designed to distance the earthen altar from both "sword" (warfare, killing) and "nakedness" \u2013 precisely the sins of Kayin and Noach, respectively.<\/p>\n

    The Cluster of Grapes<\/em><\/p>\n

    We read in Parashat Shlach that when the Scouts sent by Moshe Rabbeinu to scout out Eretz Yisrael returned after 40 days, they brought with them a giant cluster of grapes \u2013 so large that it had to be carried on a pole by two people. They wished to show the nation that the products and people of the land were disproportionately large and unwelcoming. Once again, we encounter wine and grapes and their grave consequences.<\/p>\n

    What is particularly intriguing, however, is that at the end of Shlach, we are also taught the commandment of the Mincha offering (as an addition to regular sacrifices). The Mincha is totally earth-based, comprised of fine wheat flour mixed with oil, together with a libation of wine upon the altar. By combining the Mincha and the story of the Scouts, the Torah wishes to emphasize that the guarantee for a successful sacrificial offering from the earth depends on actually settling the Land. In fact, this is the verse that introduces the Mincha passage:<\/p>\n

    When you come to the<\/span> land of your habitations that I give you\u2026<\/strong> (Bamidbar 15,2)<\/p>\n

    It is very clear: The rectification of the earth will occur only in Eretz Yisrael, and only when Bnei Yisrael arrive there and settle in it. Orchards and vineyards must be planted there, houses are to be built there, and the Holy Temple with its Mincha offerings is to be built there. Only in this way is the way paved for a final rectification of the \u201ccurse upon the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The basis for this concept \u2013 that the Nation's arrival in the Land is the rectification of Adam\u2019s sin, which also took place in the Land of Israel \u2013 is found in the Medrash Rabba (to Vayikra 25,2), which states:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Yehuda ben Pazi derived: \u201cWho will uncover your eyes from dust, O Adam, that you were unable to fulfill the commandment [not to eat from the tree] for even one hour \u2013 while your children are commanded not to eat Orlah<\/em> and wait three years! [As is written:] \u201cWhen you arrive in the Land and plant fruit trees, you may not eat of the fruit for the first three years\u2026\u201d <\/strong>(Vayikra 19,23)<\/li>\n
    2. Huna said: When Bar Kapara heard this, he said, "My sister's son R. Yehuda has taught well."<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The Torah also promises that the Land will wait patiently for the Nation of Israel to redeem it:<\/p>\n

      \u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b2\u05de\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b6\u05d9\u05d4\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b9\u05d9\u05b0\u05d1\u05b5\u05d9\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc
      It will be desolate also for your enemies who dwell in it. <\/strong>(Vayikra 26,32)<\/p>\n

      This means that when we are in Exile, it will remain desolate. Why? For our own sake! The land will be cursed \u05d1\u05e2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8, \u201cfor\u201d us, and our enemies will not be able to truly settle it! The land will remain desolate so that when our final redemption arrives, the process of redeeming the land from its curse will be completed. As the Prophet Amos prophesized:<\/p>\n
