Are you an unwitting victim of improper translation? Genesis 4:4 for instance uses the word offering in most translations, however this has been misinterpreted as sacrifice by many people. The word Hebrew word used can also mean gift or tribute. This mistranslation or misinterpretation has caused far too much confusion and causes us to focus on the tribute rather than the heart of the brothers. Able’s heart was to please the Creator bringing the best of the best while Cain was content with doing the least he could do. Our Creator offers us His best and desires our best in return. We often miss the grace offered to Cain, Genesis 4:7, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?”
