It was THAT.

Oh, but while THAT was a term applied to the Job in general, generally
and in common, the bosses and their small information elite would apply
the term to THAT which had jurisdiction. So, it's THAT which determines
and proscribes our labor, both above and below. 

Now that man has become like one of us, knowing good from bad, what if
he should stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and
eat, and live forever! So the Lord God banished him from the garden of
Eden, to till the soil from which he was taken. He drove the man out,
and stationed east of the garden of Eden the cherubim and the fiery
ever-turning sword, to guard the way to the tree of life. 
N ow the man knew (Heb. yeda, have you ever been experienced?)  his wife
Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain....

They say that Cain caught Able with a pair of loaded die
Ace of Spades behind his ear

Cain slew Able, kilt him wit a stone
the sky cracked open and the EL begun to groan
