And at the end of so many days it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground unto Jehovah.

but He did not have regard for Cain and his offering. And Cain's anger burned greatly, and his countenance fell.

For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

And according to the Law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and reprobate with regard to every good work.

Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have rushed out in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

and fire came out from before Jehovah and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they cried aloud and fell on their faces.

Then the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

in order that on you may come all the righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required from this generation.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.

in order that on you may come all the righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
