The LORD approved of Abel and his offering, but the LORD didnt approveof Cain and his offering. So Cain became angry and was disappointed.

Genesis 4.4-5

Incidents like this from scripture always make me scratch my head. Why didnt the LORDapprove of Cain? Why did the LORD approve of Abel? I understand why Cain was angry anddisappointed; been there, done that! What could this story from Genesis truly mean for ustoday? Perhaps a better look at the story in Genesis chapter 4 would shed some light on the

meaning.As the story tells, Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the land. One anthropolo-gist has said that this is a story of herders vs agriculturalists; the story reveals a tension between the nomadshepherds and the growing agricultural revolution that paved the way to urbanization. According to this in-terpretation, God apparently sided with the nomads.

The story itself tells us that, In the course of time, Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of theground, and Abel for his part brought of the firstlingsof his flock, their fat portions. (verses 3, and 4a)

At first glance, there might seem no tension, but I have added firstlings in italics to emphasize a possibledifference. Does the tension between Cain and Abel lay among the intentions of their offerings? Obviously,

Abel gave of his prime stockthe firstborn of his flock. Cains offering, on the other hand, did not necessari-

ly come from the first fruits of his work. Is motivation the reason for the LORDs rejection of one and not theother, or is this a random acceptance and unacceptance?

Without resolving the tension, the writer of Genesis tells us that one was approved, the other not; and thatthe disgruntled one, Cain, sought revenge. I will not try to resolve tension where a resolution does not exist;I will only say that sometimes life is just this way, isnt it?

Sometimes, without reason, it seems that God approves or disapproves of our sacrifices, or decisions, in life.We seek to find answers, and none are found. Why does God accept the prayers of this one who prayed forher loved one to be healed, while this other one seems to talk to a deaf God? Could it be that this story fromGenesis seeks to teach us the old adage, If at first you dont succeed, try, try again? I dont have definitiveanswers.

That which I do know: Cain reacted with vengeance against his brothernot against God. One theologian

says that all civilization is based on this premier vengeful act of scapegoating. That is something that wemay be able to address, but in a different way: Why, if this is the first vengeful, hate-filled death, that Godpunished, do human beings continue to reenact it even today? Why do we continue to exact vengeance onthose who offend us? Who are our scapegoats today? Why not move toward grace and compassion for oneanother?

In those moments of discernment, we may never know that answer to any of these questions, but we canbe a Christian example that ends the cycle of violence. Lets be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Peace,

Pr Tim
