Where is Abel your brother
God knew that Cain had killed Abel, but he asked Cain this question so that Cain would have to answer. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Am I my brother's keeper?
Cain used this rhetorical question so that he would not have to tell the truth. This can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "I am not my brother's keeper!" or "You know that taking care of my brother is not my job!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
