Can someone help me with a literal translation of the first part of this
verse. Generally, it reads, "Cain told (said to) Abel his brother." and
that's it! On the surface, it doesn't appear to make sense, but some
versions ad lib to suggest that Cain was suggesting to Abel that they go for
a walk in the fields.

Thanks
