"By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks," (Hebrews 11:4 NASB1995).

The beginning to the midsection of the verse has an evident interpretation, referring to what had been said in Genesis. What becomes interesting is near the end: "though he is dead, he still speaks".

The meaning is that this story's wisdom still speaks today: "The story of Abel's faith, as recorded in the Bible, still speaks to generation after generation. This mention of Abel's faith indicates that, from the very outset of human history, some OT figures were saved by means of faith," (Crossway 2380). (C.f. Cambridge).
