The name is often associated with the concept of "breath" or "vapor," symbolizing transience or fleetingness. In a broader sense, the term "hebel" is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to denote vanity, futility, or something ephemeral.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Abel is a significant figure in the biblical narrative, representing the archetype of the righteous sufferer. His account is foundational in understanding the themes of sacrifice, faith, and the consequences of sin. Abel was a shepherd, and his offering to God was accepted over that of his brother Cain, leading to Cain's jealousy and Abel's subsequent murder. This narrative sets the stage for the ongoing biblical theme of the struggle between good and evil, righteousness and sin.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
