Genesis 4:8
Douay-Rheims
And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.
Ibn Ezra
CAIN SAID "..." - It seems to me that [Cain] said to [Abel] all of the ways that God had rebuked him. One must have been born on a dismal day to ask the question, "How did he kill him without [the advent of] a sword?" What an astonishing question, since he could have killed him by throttling him with his bare hands, moreover, there were thousands of sticks and rocks about.
