350. Verse 4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof; and Jehovah looked to Abel, and to his offering. By “Abel” here as before is signified charity; and by the “firstlings of the flock” is signified that which is holy, which is of the Lord alone; by “fat” is signified the celestial itself, which also is of the Lord; and by “Jehovah looking unto Abel, and to his offering” that the things of charity, and all worship grounded in charity, were well-pleasing to the Lord.
