19 But as for Abel, he set up stones that were near at
hand, and on that, he offered up his gift with a heart
humble and free from guile.
20 Cain was then standing by the altar on which he had
offered up his gift; and he cried to God to accept his
offering; but God did not accept it from him; neither did a
divine fire come down to consume his offering.
21 But he remained standing over against the altar,
out of humor and meanness, looking towards his brother
Abel, to see if God would accept his offering or not.
22 And Abel prayed to God to accept his offering.
Then a divine fire came down and consumed his offering.
And God smelled the sweet savor of his offering; because
Abel loved Him and rejoice in Him.
23 And because God was well pleased with him, He sent
him an angel of light in the figure of a man who had
partaken of his offering, because He had smelled the sweet
savor of his offering, and they comforted Abel and
strengthened his heart.
24 But Cain was looking on all that took place at his
brother's offering, and was angry because of it.
