Who writes this junk?
Cain worked the fields, that is where his ‘work’ and sacrifice came from. Abel tended the flocks and that is where his sacrifice came from.
I’m still trying to figure out how Cain knew to take off for the Land of Nod to find a wife. Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel. Where did these people in the Land of Nod come from? That has bugged me for 50 years.
You are correct. Ishmael is a better comparison. Actaully, Islamists sem to be a composite of Ishamael, Esau and Ham.
But your version doesn’t explain why God accepted Abel and rejected Cain.
The explanation here—junk, as you call it—is very precise in Biblical terms. The blood of the lamb means exactly what this post tells us.
