Either Eve was not aware where her "Cain" came from or the serpents initial encounter with Eve brought forth from that point when the serpent was Eve's desire speaking to her to be confused with the Lord. Either way corinthians 15 lays it all out. Continue down it shows what comes next... to raise Abel as immortal and Cain incorruptible. Death(spiritually) is then defeated.

There is a seed of Satan but it doesn't come from sexual intercourse with Eve, it comes from mental intercourse with here. According to the bible, words are seed. The words the serpent spoke to Eve in the garden seeded lust in Eve's mind. Eve believing the words of the serpent conceived lust in her mind, the conceived lust brought forth sin and the sin brought forth death.

Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

In the KJV the serpent spoke exactly 46 words to Eve. The number 46 points to human have 46 chromosomes that hold our DNA. We also see the number 46 associated with the human body in the New Testament.

Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

Th KJV is an awesome... it has God's signature all over it!
 
has anyone done a study on,

2Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 At the designated time Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. 4Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering.

What Sabbath or appointed time is being observed here?

I can't see mention of a sabbath there. It probably, was a appointed time. But I'm not sure for this verse alone, how much we can learn about it.

But, if it was a appointed time, we know God has always had a time for things to be done in the Bible. That would be a big study going through all of them.
 
The reason there is confusion over this passage is because there are 2 different seeds being looked at here.

This seed:
3 At the designated time Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground.

And this seed:
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

One of these seeds is conceiving the thoughts of adding to the word of God. And the other seed is straight forward. If I were to say to any of you "In the process of time this world has been getting worse and worse", none of you would question the meaning of my words. Why then do you question the same words in Genesis? It is because another seed has been planted in your mind, it has conceived lust and brought forth sin (adding to the word of God), which will eventually lead to death.
 
You canot use the verses to say it is the sabbath that is wrong

When did abrham and the others offer sacifices to God on the sabbath or in battles xyz

I did not say it was the Sabbath only that I was thinking it could be and wanted to know what others have found.

I am not going to look up the sacifices of others you can do that study if you like. I was saying Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Job did blood sacrifices showing this was a known way of God.

In Genesis 1 the word Elohim is used for God. This is the name of power and judgment. In Genesis 2 the Name YHVH is given this is in connection of a relationship with people. It is God’s name and the name of mercy.
Genesis 2:3
So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
Here you have Elohim setting the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] day apart from the other days. This day was set apart with power and judgment.
Now because we know God does not change look in His word and see what the day was set apart for. It was so he had a day were he could spend the whole day with his children in a relationship.
Isaiah 66:22-23
“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain. From new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, declares the Lord.
In Genesis no other designated time was set yet. There are shadows of designated times and you will see them when you become familiar with them.

For Adam and Eve to know they were naked they must have had a covering before the fall. Their sin removed the covering . A animal died to give them a covering.
Cain and Able were under the covering of their parents faith who would have schooled them in the ways of God.
Romans 10:17 for faith is from the hearing ear, and the hearing ear is from the word of God

Able had faith and trusted in what he learned from his parents. When the boys were at the age of accountability they needed now to bring their own sacrifice to the LORD at the designated time
.

Genesis 3 At the designated time Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. 4Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering.

This means that they were told about the blood.

Hebrews 11:4- By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Hebrews 12:24 - And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than [that of] Abel

Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME

What is shown here is at an appointed time a blood offering of a lamb was given by Able. I was looking for a sacrifice that only required a lamb as an offering and no other animal and that is why I was looking at the Sabbath.
