The Bible account says: “It came about at the expiration of some time that Cain proceeded to bring some fruits of the ground as an offering to Jehovah. But as for Abel, he too brought some firstlings of his flock, even their fatty pieces. ” — Genesis 4: 3, 4.
Piibli jutustuses öeldakse: „Mõne aja pärast juhtus, et Kain tõi Jehoovale roaohvri maaviljast, ja ka Aabel tõi oma pudulojuste esimesest soost ning nende rasvast ”.
