Adam (Patriarch)

Inheritance

Despite being a bastard, the inheritance was passed on to Cain when Adam accepted him in the womb of Eve. When Adam accepted Eve, he accepted Cain in her womb and Cain became his first-born heir. Similarly, when Joseph acceded to the instructions of the angel and accepted Mary, he accepted Christ in her womb as his first-born heir! A descendant of Cain is depicted in the Gospels as claiming the society as his own, which Christ does not rebuke, and a fact in which scripture agrees in places such as 1 John.

The birth of Christ undid the works of Cain and his descendants and nullified death among the descendants of Adam.
