Similarly, Abel's sacrifice of animals was accepted rather than Cain's offering of vegetables, because he appreciated this principle that without shedding blood there could be no forgiveness and acceptable approach to God (Gen. 4:3-5).
Vivyo hivyo, dhabihu za wanyama wa Abeli ilikubalika zaidi kuliko matoleo ya mboga ya Kaini, kwa kuwa alielewa jambo hili ya kwamba pasipo kumwaga damu ingekuwa vigumu kusamehewa na kukubalika kumkaribia Mungu (Mwanzo 4:3-5)
