It is true that the term God (Elohim) does not occur in the offering pericope of Gen. 4. But also, the term Lord as it appears here is not the small "l" lord which is a common English translation of the Hebrew "adonai". The Hebrew term that appears in these passages is, of course, the tetragrammaton YHWH.
i.e. Gen. 4:3 ". . . brought . . . an offering to YHWH."
