I agree Vic, and I would say that Abel recognized the justifying work of God through the shed blood of Christ as symbolized in the sacrifice of atonement. Yes, of course I'm reading into the text as well. Thanks for your answer.

I have another question for anyone.

Why didn't God shed Cains blood for murdering Abel? God is not under the law but doesn't his mercy here take away from the strict command of Gen 9:6?
