Abel, in Hebrew Hebel (i.e., breath, vapor, transitoriness), the second son of Adam, murdered by his brother Cain (Genesis 4:1-16). Jehovah showed respect for Abel's offering, but not for that of Cain, because, according to the Epistle to the Hebrews (Genesis11:4), Abel "by faith offered a more excellent sacrifice that Cain." Our Lord spoke of Abel as the first martyr (Matthew 23:35); so did the early Church subsequently.

O времена о нрави!
