Because its meant to be the 'choicest or best'. Like the 'fat of the land'. Does dirt have fat?
So, how is it . . . that Abel offered fat portions to The Lord without the spilling of blood?
Oh, Right, John Titor sent a General Electric laser back to Abel so the blood was minimized. But then minimized is not the same as nonexistent.
Yet again such assertions about no bloody sacrifices seem to crash and burn on the authentic Word of God.
Genesis 4
Cain and Abel
1 Adam [a] lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. [b] She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth [c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
