Let’s do a quick flashback to Cain for a moment.
And it came to be, in the course of time, that Qayin brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to יהוה. And Heḇel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat. And יהוה looked to Heḇel and his offering, TS2009
There isn’t anything wrong with a fruit offering but Cain “brought an offering”; Abel “brought of the first born. It doesn’t say Cain brought his first fruits. We know from later scriptures God requires the first and the unblemished - the best.
And יהוה said to Qayin … Is it not if you do good, you are to be accepted? And if you do not do good, towards the door is a sin offering. TS2009
Cain did what was right in his own eyes. Take note of the “sin offering.”
