GEN 4-23...It 's really just my opinion, but looking at the whole scene logically, and knowing a little about what was expected from the sacrificial offerings of the Old Covenant, I think it is safe to assume Cain and Able knew enough of the Creator and the Royalty of HIM as GOD. That Able no doubt had brought for his offering the choicest calf of his flock pure, without blemish, going to great lengths to make his offering pleasing to his Heavenly Father. Where Cain probably had a different view of things for one being the older brother, there might have been some slight inner resentment toward his younger brother like it is in todays life, but ultimately it was all reflected in what he had put together for his offering, maybe a haphazard bunch of fruit or vegetables put together in a not to caring manner, and this displeased Our God. We know that Our Heavenly Father is Loving, Supremely Just, and Fair, BUT HE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, and it is our reasonable duty to treat HIM as such, at all times, no matter the consequences. But the bottom line is it all hinged on him doing well, as God explained to Cain afterward. AMEN!!
