(Something to think about!)The second section begins and ends with Abel and his sacrifice. A final thought on these sacrifices is that in the Law, grain or “fruit of the soil” was a part of the offerings at the Tabernacle. My other thought was that Abel had offered this sacrifice before. Jesus is superior to any created being, even angels (cf. I do not know enough about Hebrew but there is a plural form of “firstlings” which is where I got this thought. walks through Hebrews, a book of the Bible written to people whose faith in Jesus was lagging. Loosely, you can get that idea in Genesis 4 depending on the translation. 11:40 and 12:24 have a context of “useful” according to Strong’s Concordance.ġ1:4 MAY infer that Abel offered “more” than Cain. This set deals with our faith and the things we will see because of our faith. The second set starts with 11:4, which is the word polys and refers to Abel’s sacrifice. This verse and 1:4 will be discussed later. Audio and manuscripts are available for each lesson. So, it is Diaphoras and then Kreitton, Kreitton.

The exact number and use of these words depend on the translation you use. Diaphoras (1313) is translated to our word “superior”. Polys or a form of it (4183) is the other word that is used.
