Genesis 4:2
Douay-Rheims
And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Abel was a keeper of sheep--literally, "a feeder of a flock," which, in Oriental countries, always includes goats as well as sheep. Abel, though the younger, is mentioned first, probably on account of the pre-eminence of his religious character.
