In Jewish tradition, Philo, Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer and the Targum Pseudo-Jonathan asserted that Adam was not the father of Cain. Rather, Eve was subject to adultery having been seduced by either Sammael, [23] [24] the serpent [25] ( nahash, Hebrew: נחש) in the Garden of Eden, [26] or the devil himself. [18] Christian exegesis of the "evil one" in 1 John 3:10–12 have also led some commentators, like Tertullian, to agree that Cain was the son of the devil [27] or some fallen angel. Thus, according to some interpreters, Cain was half-human and half-angelic, one of the Nephilim (Genesis 6). Gnostic exegesis in the Apocryphon of John has Eve seduced by Yaldabaoth. However, in the Hypostasis of the Archons, Eve is raped by a pair of Archons. [28] We’ll find out in the upcoming chapters of Genesis that Cain’s line of offspring is eventually wiped out by the great flood. But for now both Cain and Seth will have lines of descendants. Older English translations spell the name in the 4th generation of Seth’s line as “Cainan” rather than today’s “Kenan.” It seems that at some point scholars and translators switched their preference from Cainan to Kenan, even in the NRSV, which descends from the KJV line: For example, there is much in the etymology and meaning of the names themselves, with this and other indications of the (im)moral and (un)Godly characters of these persons and their relationships with God. Then there are those perplexing long lifetimes, plus the possible meaning of specific lifespan numbers (365 = one year?), Lamech’s (Cain) taunts of do-it-myself violent power and God’s reply with the death of his line, Cain’s desire for protection vs grandson Lamech’s desire for confrontation, Noah’s Godliness and his favor and the continuation of his line, the Anglicization of names Kenan, Cainen and their correspondence with the English profession smith and name Smith, and the replacement of 2nd son Abel with 3rd son Seth and God’s habit of extending his favor to the second born rather than the first. There are many things going on in these two chapters we are ignoring.
Enoch (son of Cain) - Wikipedia
The former king, Enoch, saw Caine's power and requested to be Embraced so that he might share in it. However, Caine showed some reluctance because of the loss of the lovers he had Embraced decades ago, and Uriel's warning. Yet the raging of the Beast within, the yearning to be with others like him, and Enoch ultimately begging for the Embrace, softened Caines resolve. He would embrace Enoch, and in honor of his newfound vampiric childe, Caine declared that Ubar now would be known as the City of Enoch. the phrase traditionally translated "am I my brother's keeper?" is Hebrew "Hă-šōmêr 'āḥî 'ānōḵî?" "Keeper" is from the verb shamar (שמר), "guard, keep, watch, preserve." DID LAMECH KILL CAIN? How did Cain die? This 12th-century column capital from the Cathedral of Saint-Lazre in France depicts Lamech hunting with his son Tubal-Cain. They accidentally shoot and kill Cain, mistaking him for a wild animal. Photo: Cathedral Museum of St. Lazare, Autun, Burgundy, France/The Bridgeman Art Library.The expression "Cain-coloured beard" (Cain and Judas were traditionally considered to have red or yellow hair) [53] is used in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602). [52] Gen 4:17-24 Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch…. Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech. Lamech took to himself two wives: …Adah gave birth to Jabal…. His brother’s name was Jubal…. …Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain… and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah…. (NASB) In Christianity, comparisons are sometimes made between the death of Abel and that of Jesus, the former thus seen as being the first martyr. In Matthew 23:35 Jesus speaks of Abel as "righteous", and the Epistle to the Hebrews states that "The blood of sprinkling ... [speaks] better things than that of Abel" ( Hebrews 12:24). The blood of Jesus is interpreted as bringing mercy; but that of Abel as demanding vengeance (hence the curse and mark). [10] To kill Cain would have gone against God’s command as stated above. Therefore whoever killed Cain would have committed “murder”. How does God considers murder and murderers? A Talmudic tradition says that after Cain had murdered his brother, God made a horn grow on his head. Later, Cain was killed at the hands of his great-grandson Lamech, who mistook him for a wild beast. [32] A Christian version of this tradition from the time of the Crusades holds that the slaying of Cain by Lamech took place on a mound called "Cain Mons" (i.e. Mount Cain), which is a corruption of "Caymont", a Crusader fort in Tel Yokneam in modern-day Israel. [33]
Cain - Wikipedia
The other Lamech was a descendant of Seth. After Cain’s banishment Eve bore another son and named him Seth. In contrast to Cain’s sinful line, Seth’s descendants were known for righteousness. Enoch, Seth’s great-great-great grandson, walked so closely with God that God took him directly to heaven when Enoch was 365 years old (Genesis 5:22–24). Enoch’s son Methusaleh (the oldest man recorded in the Bible) continued the righteous line and fathered Lamech (verse 25).a b Reeve, W. Paul (2015).
