Bible Question: Driven out from where? Where was Cain? What does 'from the face of the land' mean? |
Bible Answer: Hi Thomas: Here is a commentary by John Gill, that I believe you will find insightful. Also, may I suggest a link to his FREE online commentary on the whole Bible, I believe it will help you with your many good questions, It's good to study and find these things on our own. :-) God bless you in your studies. --"Ver. 14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth,.... Not from being upon the earth, or had chased him out of the world as a wicked man is at death, but from a quiet settlement in it, and from society and converse with the inhabitants of it; and especially he was driven from that part of it, where he was born and brought up, and which he had been employed in manuring; where his parents dwelt, and other relations, friends, and acquaintance: and to be banished into a strange country, uninhabited, and at a distance from those he had familiarly lived with, was a sore punishment of him:"-- http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ God bless John |
