AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 4:16 ¶ So Cain went away from the [manifested] presence of the LORD, and lived in the land of Nod [wandering in exile], east of Eden. |
Bible Question:
When Cain was sent to the land of Nod, who were these people who were alrady in the Land of Nod? Where did they come from? |
Bible Answer: This is a spin-off of the ages old question about who Cain's wife was. The only deduction one can logically make, given the rather scant information in Genesis, is that the people who dwelt upon the earth in Cain's time and who dwell upon it in our time are all descendents of the two people whom God created, Adam and Eve. --Hank |
