We are told that Abel was a shepherd or ‘keeper of sheep’ while Cain was a farmer or ‘tiller of the ground’. One day, Cain brought some of the crops he had grown, and presented them to God as an offering. Abel also brought an offering: the ‘firstlings of his flock’ of sheep.
God accepted Abel's offering and rejected Cain's—an indication that Abel was more righteous than Cain, and thus worthier of Aclima. As a result, it was decided that Abel would marry Aclima. Cain would marry her less beautiful sister.

There are many things about both brothers that are not directly mentioned in Scripture. How far apart were Cain and Abel in age? Why did Cain become a farmer and Abel a herdsman? Did the boys get along with each other when they were young? How “old” were Adam and Eve when the boys were born? And when asking this last question, we need to keep in mi...
Directly after the mention of their births, we are told that Cain worked with crops and that Abel was a shepherd. Then we get an undetermined time reference of “in the course of time” or “in the process of time” and the details of the sacrifice.

Genesis 4:9–15 tells us that God quickly confronts Cain with his murder, sweeps away Cain’s loathsome lie, and says that the ground itself has testified of Cain’s heinous sin. If Cain’s sacrificial offering was supposed to be a blood offering, then in a sadly ironic way, Cain, who did not offer a blood sacrifice to God, has now spilled innocent blo...
After Genesis 4, the next reference to Abel occurs in Matthew 23:35 (where Abel is called “righteous”) along with the parallel passage in Luke 11:51. These passages are often termed the “woe to you” chapters because they contain the imprecations of Jesus upon hypocritical scribes, Pharisees, and lawyers. Here Jesus is condemning many of the religio...

Abel was faithful and righteous, sacrificing to God the best he had; whereas Cain was jealous, hateful, and murderous with his works being described as evil. Whatever the reason for Cain’s sacrifice being rejected, rather than producing a godly sorrow ...

Abel’s lamb represents Jesus Christ and His death, the foundational work which provides Christian believers approach and acceptance with God (Eph. 1:3-7). Cain’s vegetables represent fallen man’s futile attempt at approach and acceptance before God based on his own works and labor.
Cain offered for sacrifice the fruit of his labors in the field. The offering was vegetable, and it was bloodless. Abel brought a blood-offering taken from his flock. When God passed judgment on the two types of offerings, that of Cain was rejected, and that of Abel was accepted.
Oct 10, 2024 · Cain, the older brother, was a farmer who worked the ground, while Abel was a shepherd who tended flocks.
