“When we look at Cain’s offering, the literal reading is, he brought of the fruit of the ground at the end of days. The implication is that at the end of the time of harvest he brought what was left… As we ponder our own offerings, do we offer God the first fruits of our labors, or what we have left after we have consumed the best portion for ourselves?”
(Archbishop Mark of Philadelphia in oca.org)
