Abel's life, as recorded in Genesis, is marked by his role as a shepherd and his faithful offering to God. His account is pivotal in illustrating the early dynamics of human sin, worship, and divine favor. Abel's murder by his brother Cain is the first recorded act of fratricide, highlighting the destructive power of jealousy and sin.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/58.htm">abel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"meadow," two places in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Abel (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Abel <p>From <a href="/hebrew/58.htm">'abel</a>;
