The Law of Sacrifice authorized as a legitimate offering to the Lord the offering of the “first fruits of the field.” Therefore, Cain was following the proper form when he offered sacrifice. The reason he was cursed was not, as is generally supposed, because he violated the forms of sacrifice, but because he did not offer his sacrifice with a righteous heart.
