Rabbi Shlomo Riskin
Bereishit

Our Bible opens with the miraculous and magnificent creations of the world and of humanity - but then quickly goes on to catalogue the encroachment of chaos into cosmos, horror into harmony. Eden is lost as a result of the cardinal sin of Adam and Eve against the Divine Creator by eating the forbidden fruit, and the future of the re-born world outside of Eden is threatened by the cardinal sin of Cain's fratricide. The first is a crime of human being against G-d; the second is a crime of human against human. The Bible links both sins by placing them in the same Torah portion and by joining them linguistically: G-d punishes Eve by declaring that Adam "will rule over her" (hu yimshol bakh- Genesis 3:16), and G-d warns Cain that "sin crouches at the door opening, is desirous of overcoming you, but you can rule over it "(V'ata timshol bo - Genesis 4:7).
