Genesis 4:1-26
[1]And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
And Adam came together with his wife, Eve and she conceived and bare a son named Cain and the meaning of his name was, “Man”.
[2]And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And she gave birth to his brother, Abel and Abel was Shepherd and Cain was a Farmer.
[3]And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
And it came to pass that Cain brought his fruits as a offering to TMH (The Most High).
[4]And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
And Abel bought the firstlings of his sheep and the fat of it and TMH had respect unto Abel and his offering.
Hebrews 11:4
[5]But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
But Cain's offering, TMH did not have respect for it, because he did not do well and Cain was furious and his outward appearance changed.
What is Countenance?
1 Samuel 16:7
[6]And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
And TMH asked Cain why he was angry and why his face / appearance had changed.
[7]If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
So here we see that TMH is telling Cain, if he did well, that he would be accepted, but if he does not do well, sin is upon him and sin will be in subjection to him and Cain shall rule over sin.
Genesis 3:16
[8]And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
And Cain talked with Abel and killed his brother.
So here we see Cain committed his first sin.
Deuteronomy 5:17, Exodus 20:13
[9]And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
So, TMH asked Cain where his brother, Abel was and he lied saying, he did not know.
Which is baring false witness according to Exodus 20:16, Deuteronomy 5:20
[10]And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
So here, TMH asked Cain, what he had done and told him that his brother's blood cries to him from the ground.
So your blood does not actually cry, in order to figure out what this means, we go to Genesis 9:4, which explains that the blood is the life, so it was Abel's spirit that cried unto TMH.
[11]And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
now TMH pronounced bad upon Cain from the earth that had received Abel's life.
[12]When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
When you cultivate the earth, it shall not yield it's strength, you will be a criminal and a homeless wanderer in the earth.
Fugitive = Criminal
Vagabond = Homeless Person or Wanderer
[13]And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
And Cain said unto TMH that he could not handle the punishment or consequences of his actions.
[14]Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Cain explains that TMH has driven him out from his presence which is his face and that he will be a criminal and a wanderer in the earth.
Cain was also concerned about people finding him and killing him.
[15]And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Here we see TMH protects Cain by saying he will take vengeance meaning revenge on the person that kills Cain.
7 fold means 7 times and TMH set a mark meaning a number or a name according to Revelation 14:11 and Revelation 15:2; In case anyone should kill him.
[16]And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Cain went out from the presence of TMH and stayed in the land of Nod which is east of Eden.
once we compare verse 14 and 16, we will see that TMH's face is his presence.
[17]And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
And Cain came together with his wife and she bare Enoch, while in the land of Nod, Cain built a city and called it Enoch, after his son.
So we see here that within the land of Nod, there's a place called Enoch and also a city is considered to be quite big which explains the numerous trees / men in the garden, otherwise, where did Cain get a wife from?
[18]And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
So we see here, that from the lineage of Cain came a man named Lamech.
[19]And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Lamech took two wives, Adah and Zillah.
Point to note; Lamech which is a descendant of Cain was the first man to introduce the multiple wives trend.
As we already know, Cain is of the wicked one according to 1 John 3:12 and Jude 1:11
[20]And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
And Adah bared Jabal, he was a man that did business with cattle.
[21]And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
His brother's name was Jubal; he was a musician.
[22]And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Zillah, the second wife of Lamech bared Tubalcain; He was an artificer meaning craftsman in brass and iron.
Example ; A welder
And he had a sister named Naamah.
[23]And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Lamech asked his wives to listen to him, that he had killed a man and a young man.
Jasher 2:26-36
[24]If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Here Lamech said that, if Cain should be avenged 7 times, then Lamech should also be protected by TMH 70 and 7 times.
[25]And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Adam came together with his wife again and bared Seth.
Seth meaning “TMH has appointed” and she thought it was to replace Abel.
[26]And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
And Seth had a son named Enos and men begun to call upon the name / deeds of TMH.
This can be found in Psalms 105:1, Isaiah 12:4
