I did not know sin had desires. When lust (desire) hath conceived it bringeth forth sin. Gen.3:16 God speaking to Eve, And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ( same Hebrew word) or maybe "unto thy husband shall be eves desire????OR maybe "unto Cain shall be Abel's desire???? The sin lying at the door was the murder of Abel by Cain that God was for telling .God was telling Cain exactly what he was going to do. In my opinion. God said " thou SHALT rule over him"not if you choose, you can rule over you sinful desire!! That's just how I see it ,maybe mistaken!! Gen 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing where with his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart.....then will I slay my brother.
The same message is taught throughout the Bible regarding the desire of sin. God told Cain to rule over temptation, likewise we are to do the same.
