Ah, I think you might be referring to the biblical story of Cain and Abel! Here's a brief summary:

Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. Cain was a farmer, and Abel was a shepherd. When they both made offerings to God, Abel's offering of the "firstborn of his flock and their fat portions" was accepted, while Cain's offering of "some of the fruits of the soil" was not.

Cain was angry and jealous of Abel, and God warned him that sin was crouching at his door and he needed to master it. But Cain lured Abel into a field and killed him out of jealousy and anger.

God then confronted Cain and asked him where Abel was. Cain responded with the famous phrase, "Am I my brother's keeper?" God cursed Cain, making him a wanderer and outlaw, but also marked him so that no one would kill him. Cain went on to build a city and have children, but the story of his crime and punishment was remembered as a warning against jealousy and violence.
