Genesis 4: The Family of Cain 4:17 - 4:24

Gen 4:17
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.


Enoch means "initiated." He was the first to walk with the
Lord, and never died. Even though Cain was a "marked
man," he was blessed with his family. Through his genes,
will man be redeemed by Christ.

There's immeasurable information concealed, as well as revealed
in the seven verses relating to Cain. The branches of Cain, or
Caanan, begin to spread out. In addition to righteous Enoch,
the next generations will become the patrons of great nations.

Lamech is the father of Noah, deemed righteous,
not a marked man.

Cain is cast out, and dwells in the Land of NOD, East of Eden.
This is the only time NOD is mentioned. Cain is a wanderer.
The original wandering Jew.
