Abel

''Sacrifice of Abel'' by [[Juan Antonio de Frías y Escalante]], {{circa|1667}} Abel; ''Héḇel'', in pausa ''Hā́ḇel''; ''Hábel''; }} ( ''Hébel'', in pausa ''Hā́ḇel''; ''Hábel''; , ''Hābēl'') is a biblical figure in the Book of Genesis within the Abrahamic religions. Born as the second son of Adam and Eve, the first two humans created by God, he was a shepherd who offered his firstborn flock to God as a religious offering. God accepted Abel's offering but not the offering of his older brother Cain, leading Cain to stone Abel to death out of jealousy. This act marked the first death in biblical history, making Abel the first murder victim. Provided by Wikipedia
