Abel - observation []

Discussion

Abel הנל was appropriately named: become vain, empty, breath, Abel. His life became vain when Cain slew him. [1]

  1. ± Ge 4:8 ¶ And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
