350. Verse 4 And Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat; and Jehovah had respect for Abel and his gift.

Here, as previously, 'Abel' means charity. 'The firstborn of the flock' means the holy which is the Lord's alone. 'Fat' means the celestial itself, which also is the Lord's. 'Jehovah had respect for Abel and his gift' means that things constituting charity, and all worship deriving from it, were acceptable to the Lord.
