Genesis 4:5

but not to Cain and his offering. Then Cain became very angry, and he lowered his gaze (his outward expression fell, he became depressed).
[The reason God did not accept Cain's offering was that it was not done in faith, see Heb. 11:4. Abel sacrificed the best he had, while it seems that Cain did not. Cain's heart and motives were not right. In Isa. 1:10–20 it is clear that God hates religious hypocrisy. On a symbolic and prophetic level, Abel's blood sacrifice also speaks of how only the blood of Jesus can cleanse from sin.]
