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 Note: That's logical. Gen 1:28 obviously predates Cain and Abel ... giving his brothers and sisters lots of time to 'be fruitful and multiply'. Cain was probably mentioned first because he murdered his brother. Kind of got the impression he was the first born. All of a sudden he's worried about being killed by people out there in the world. Whoa! Where did all these people come from? Still makes you wonder about him being driven out of the face of the land/ground. I suppose if it was rendered infertile, etc. that he would have to leave it. Great explanation .. makes sense. Thank you. Blessings, Bliss |
