In today’s Scripture passage, there appear two brothers who gave offerings to God. One was Cain, the first son born to Adam, and the other was Abel’s second son. Cain took the fruit of the ground and offered it to Jehovah, while his brother Abel offered the firstborn of his flock and their fat.
To cut to the chase, God did not respect Cain’s offering, but rather accepted Abel’s offering. As a result of this Cain became infused with anger. It is therefore quite clear to us which of the two offerings were acceptable to God. It is written here that Abel offered the firstborn of his flock and their fat. We need to pause here and consider exactly what is meant by “the firstborn of his flock and of their fat.” We know through scripture that when the people of Israel gave offerings to God, they removed the fat from the sacrificial animal and offered it to God.
