Strong's Lexicon Habel: Abel Original Word: Ἅβελ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name הֶבֶל (Hevel) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H1893 (הֶבֶל, Hevel) Usage: In the New Testament, the name Ἅβελ (Habel) refers to Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve. Abel is known for his righteous character and his acceptable offering to God, which contrasted with his brother Cain's unacceptable offering. Abel's account is often used to illustrate themes of faith, righteousness, and the consequences of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: Abel is a significant figure in the biblical narrative, representing the first martyrdom in human history. His account is found in Genesis 4, where he is depicted as a shepherd who offers the firstborn of his flock to God. Abel's offering is accepted by God, while Cain's is not, leading to Cain's jealousy and the eventual murder of Abel. This narrative sets the stage for the ongoing biblical theme of the struggle between good and evil, faithfulness and sin.
