John Gill Commentary Genesis 4:11

"And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother`s blood from thy hand;" — Genesis 4:11 (ASV)

And now [are] you cursed from the earth
From receiving benefit by it, and enjoying the fruits of it as before, and from having a settled dwelling in it, as is afterwards explained: which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your
hand ;
the blood of his brother, which was shed by his own hand, was received and sucked into the earth, where it was spilled, through the pores of it, and drank up and covered, so as not to be seen; in which it was as it were more humane to Abel, and as it were more ashamed of the crime, and shuddered more, and expressed more horror at it, than Cain.
