    3And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD.

    4And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect for Abel and his offering:

    5But for Cain and his offering he did not have respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

    6And the LORD said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why has your countenance fallen?
