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

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

Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had many 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 a husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:

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

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