Abel the second son of Adam and Eve was a sheep farmer and he brought offerings to YHWH from the firstlings of his flock. Gen 4:1-4
YHWH respected Abel's offering but he had no respect to the offering of Cain, Abel's older brother. This made Cain so angry that he later killed Abel while they where out in the fields.
Jesus when speaking to the multitudes and to his disciples calls Abel a righteous man Mat 23:35Luk 11:51
Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve. He was the brother of Cain who would later kill him out of jealousy. Gen 4:2-8
Abel also had another brother Seth, that was born later, after Abel had been killed by his brother Gen 4:25. Abel also had several other brothers and sisters that are not named in the Bible Gen 5:4
