PENALTY PRESCRIBES IN
• Adam and Eve broke that law, so they were the first criminal
as they were punished by exile or banishment from the
Garden of Eden, which could be considered as first penalty
or punishment.
.
The first crime against person was likewise shown in the Bible,
when Cain killed his brother Abel, In punishment for such crime,
God placed a mark on Cain, and make him a wanderer on the
face of death, as well a cursed his children for crime of the
father. The “Mark of Cain” that God put on the brow of Cain is
for the purpose of warning all men of his crime. Said act is
implanted in the consciousness of every criminal and makes
them anti-social and that they always hide their criminal
activities.
