Day 2. Genesis 4-6

Re: Day 2. Genesis 4-6

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

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.

The way I read it, (with no interpretation) is Cain's wife was part of the people that the LORD made on day 6, when He said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" in Genesis 1:26.

According to Wiki, it claims that Cain married his sister Awan (this is supposedly in the book of jubilees).

Now, some people claim that the "land of nod" means a place of wandering, and that Cain was forced to wander forever (somehow escaping the flood). But we later see that Cain founded a city and named it for his son Enoch, so, the curse of wandering obviously wasn't a very strong one.

Hope this helps

I have always wondered who Cain married, Brother V, and this explains it nicely!

I do like these daily Bible studies, starting from the beginning, this makes it all so much easier to understand, and I'm looking forward the each new day now, brother!

Praise!

Genesis 4-6

We have now left behind the story of creation, and who (who has read Genesis 1) can dispute that it's EXACTLY how it was done?

Lets read the first few words in Genesis 4:1

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife;

You'll remember they were running around nekkid as a jaybird before, but suddenly Adam KNEW his wife. In this case KNEW means "had sex with".

(continues)and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

See children are a gift from the Lord.

If you do a search of the Bible (KJV1611) for the word KNEW, you'll find of the first 4 times the word is used, only once does it mean knowledge of, every other time, it means intercourse. (It also means intercourse the 6th time it's used.)

Later in Genesis 4:8, we have the story of brotherly love, where Cain kills his brother Abel.

Then we have the LORD making Cain be a wanderer.

To me, one of the most interesting verses in the Bible (KJV1611) is Genesis 4:14 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.

According to most false christians (who try to believe the creation story), there were only 3 people on the earth at that time. Adam, Eve and Cain (with the dead Abel). In Genesis 4:14, we see Cain saying EVERY ONE. Who else was there, according to them there's only 2 others. Of course Adam and Eve might be mad that their son killed their other son, but probably not enough to have him killed. So who were EVERY ONE?

Those are the people who were created on day 6.

Then we see the Cain took a wife from someplace else, a woman who obviously wasn't one of his sisters, (in verse 16).

Now it gets interesting.

Chapter 5 is begets, they are important, but lets read on to chapter 6.

God gets angry, and has Noah build the ark.

Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

We come to find out later that he's also a drunkard, and cursed one of his grandchildren.

Then Noah put stuff on the ark.

And that concludes today.
