Genesis 4:2 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Abel

Abel ("exhalation," or, "that which ascends") is a type of the spiritual man. His sacrifice, in which atoning blood was shed (Hebrews 9:22) was therefore at once his confession of sin and the expression of his faith in the interposition of a substitute (Hebrews 11:4).

Genesis 4:2

2 And she again bare his brother Abel.b And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
