And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
All Commentaries on Genesis 4:3 Go To Genesis 4
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
Cain was angry because the offering of his brother had been accepted. Cain became angry on account of the fire that had come down and distinguished between the offerings. His face became gloomy because there was laughter in the eyes of his parents and his sisters when his offering was rejected. They had seen that Cain’s offering had been placed in the midst of the fire and yet the fire did not touch it. .
