that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous ABEL to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.

from the blood of ABEL to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

By faith, ABEL offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of ABEL.Jeremiah 31:31

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's righteous.
