Because God wanted blood. Cain offered only crops, whereas Abel killed one of his sheep and burned it as an offering.

Answer 2Biblical scholars often say that God refused Cain's offering because of his sins.

Just like we read later in this story.

Genesis 4:3-6

"At the designated time Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground for an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought some of the firstborn of his flock - even the fattest of them. And the Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, but with Cain and his offering he was not pleased. So Cain became very angry, and his expression was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast? Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it."

Also, lets emphasize that God is speaking with Cain. He gives him another chance, shows him what is wrong in his behavior. God doesn't speak with Abel, which means that He makes a first step towards siners. Cain could listen to God and give good offering another time but he has chosen otherwise.

Why was Cains sacrifice more acceptable than ables?

Cain's sacrifice was not considered more acceptable than Abel's in the biblical narrative; rather, it was Abel's offering that was favored by God. Abel offered the best portions of his flock, demonstrating sincerity and devotion. In contrast, Cain's offering of produce from the ground lacked the same level of commitment and heart, which led to God's disfavor. This difference in the quality and intention behind their sacrifices is what ultimately mattered.
