NASB | Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which it was testified of him that he was righteous (upright, in right standing with God), and God testified by accepting his gifts. And though he died, yet through [this act of] faith he still speaks. [Gen 4:3-10] |
Bible Question: WHY WAS THE FRUIT OFFERING ACCEPTED OF GOD IN LEVITICUS, BUT NOT WHEN CAIN OFFERED IT IN GENESIS |
Bible Answer: Obviously God had given Cain and Abel different instructions than he gave the people of Israel. We simply are not given the reason why God didn't accept Cain's offering. It is important to note that the agricultural offerings in Leviticus were not to atone for sins like the animal sacrifices were. In my opinion, this had something to do with the Genesis 4 situation, but ultimately it is just speculation on our part. --Joe! |
