25 Then he opened his mouth and blasphemed God,
because He had not accepted his offering.
26 But God said to cain, "Why do you look sad? Be
righteous, that I may accept your offering. Not against Me
have you murmured, but against yourself.
27 And God said this to Cain in rebuke, and because He
abhorred him and his offering.
28 And Cain came down from the altar, his color
changed and with a sad face, and came to his father and
mother and told them all that had befallen him. And Adam
grieved much because God had not accepted Cain's offering.
29 But Abel came down rejoicing, and with a gladsome
heart, and told his father and mother how God had accepted
his offering. And they rejoiced at it and kissed his face.
30 And Abel said to his father, "Because Cain shoved
me from the altar, and would not allow me to offer my gift
on it, I made an altar for myself and offered my gift on
it."
31 But when Adam heard this he was very sorry, because
it was the altar he had built at first, and on which he had
offered his own gifts.
