Cain and Abel bring offerings to the LORD
Cain brought produce from the ground, while Abel brought the firstborn and fat portions from his flock. The LORD regarded Abel and his offering, but did not regard Cain and his offering (Genesis 4:3-5). Hebrews says Abel offered by faith (Hebrews 11:4).

📖 Genesis 4:3–5
3So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD, 4while Abel brought the best portions of the firstborn of his flock. And the LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
