I had not previously made the connection between fig leaves used by Adam and Eve, and the fruit of the ground offered by Cain. Highlights our need for a sacrifice to be made for us and righteousness imputed to us.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Brad. I think seeing the connective tissue between Gen. 3 and 4 is critical for understanding the unfolding revelation that follows and that permeates the rest of the OT. Put another way, death and blood has always been involved in humanity’s redemption, even in the Garden.
