Gustave Doré; Black and White Engraving; Cain and Abel Offering their Sacrifices to God


From Genesis Chapter 4 v 3-5; Abel who was a keeper of sheep brought as a sacrifice the firstlings of his flock while Cain offered the fruit of the ground. The oblation of the one was accepted and of the other rejected by God. This makes Cain very wroth and the murder of Abel was committed shortly after.
