   	"Genesis 4:6-8 presents two harrowing scenes in which Yahweh's   
   	intervening grace is ignored by Cain in his anger and dejection   
   	over an unacceptable sacrifice. Yahweh has provided a male   
   	animal in Cain's doorway which waits in obedient submission for   
   	the offender to slay it for the purposes of atoning for his   
   	sin. Rather than correct his conduct before Yahweh by   
   	sacrificing the animal, Cain took no action whatsoever. Rather,   
   	at some point after speaking with his brother Abel about an   
   	unknown topic in the field, he violently attacked him and   
   	ruthlessly killed him.  The passage is a theological treasure   
   	house, displaying divine condescension toward a sinner with   
   	otherwise no recourse for restoration. At the opportune time,   
   	God Himself extended the offender grace by means of a "re-do   
   	sacrifice." Cain, however, would not accept this grace by   
   	slaying the animal. Ultimately he rose up and killed the wrong   
   	object--his brother Abel."
