Did Abel or Cain Offer a Lamb in Sacrifice to God?
Comments by Frank and Mary Hoffman - 12 Jun 2010

Dear Sonya:

Thank you for your interest.

The writer took this excerpt from the Epistle of Barnabas, but we are not sure from which translation. This was written in the 4th century and the authorship is uncertain, but it is attributed to Barnabas. It's one of the many extra-biblical writings of the early church.

We hope this helps.

In the Love of the Lord,

Frank and Mary
