Who was the tiller of the ground?

The "tiller of the ground" is often associated with agricultural workers or farmers, but in a biblical context, it specifically refers to Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. In the Book of Genesis, Cain is described as a tiller of the soil, in contrast to his brother Abel, who was a shepherd. This distinction is significant in the story of their offerings to God, which ultimately leads to Cain's tragic actions against Abel.
