And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
