NASB | Genesis 4:14 "Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 4:14 "Behold, You have driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from Your face (presence) I will be hidden, and I will be a fugitive and an [aimless] vagabond on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." |
Bible Question: If Cain is the 1st descendant of Adam and Eve who is Cain referring to in Genesis 4:14 when he states "WHOEVER finds me will kill me."? This verse implies that there are other men roaming the earth. |
Bible Answer: In Gen 4:14 We have heard about only four people so far--Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. Two questions arise: Why was Cain worried about being killed by others, and where did he get his wife (see Genesis 4:17)? Adam and Eve had numerous children; they had been told to "fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28). Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. The wife Cain chose may have been one of his sisters or a niece. The human race was still genetically pure, and there was no fear of side effects from marrying relatives. |
