That always bothered me, too. They weren't given instruction on what to offer, and they brought based on what it is they do. YET, when Jesus comes around, he commends (!) the pharisees on their tithing of everything, including herbs. But god doesn't. But Jesus and god are the same person. Yahweh is a fucking tool.
Pretty sure it wasn't about the type of food, it was that Cain offered all his shitty vegetables, then killed his brother who offered all his best sheep.
The story isn't about the value of vegetables over meat, it's the total submission. Cain didn't totally submit, and the type of dude who wouldn't totally submit would also murder his brother, what a dick!
You seem to be reading between the lines at text that isn't there. The text says nothing about submission or Cain not fully submitting. Cain didn't murder his brother until after God disrespected his offering.
Genesis 4:3-5 KJV:
It all started with God not respecting Cain's offering of the fruit of the ground.
Genesis 4:6-7 KJV:
In verse 7 god implies that Cain's offering of 'fruit of the ground' was him not doing well, and was a doorway to sin!
So good is all about murder. If the food is not murdered, it is not worthwhile.
Well god has killed billions, and his own son had to be murdered to atone for our sins. He’s pretty much the god of murder.
