[Avodah] Question

[T613K at aol.com]

From: Cantor Wolberg <cantorwolberg at cox.net>
>>Has  anyone ever asked why regarding the sin of the
eitz hadaas, the punishments  meted out to Chava and
Adam were transmitted to all of mankind,  whereas,
when Kayin murdered Hevel, only he was punished.
It seem strange  that the sin of the eitz hadaas had much
more encompassing consequences for  all of mankind,
but the consequence for murder was restricted just to
the  perpetrator.<<

 
 
 
>>>>>
We are all descendants of Adam and Chava, but the male line of Kayin  was 
completely wiped out in the Flood -- probably in at least partial payment  
for his sin of murder (which they perpetuated).
