Cain n 1 : (
Old Testament )
Cain and Abel were the first children of Adam and Eve born after the Fall of Man ;
Cain killed Abel out of jealousy and was exiled by God Cain a possession ;
a spear . (
1 .)
The first -
born son of Adam and Eve (
Gen .
4 ).
He became a tiller of the ground ,
as his brother Abel followed the pursuits of pastoral life .
He was "
a sullen ,
self -
willed ,
haughty ,
vindictive man ;
wanting the religious element in his character ,
and defiant even in his attitude towards God ."
It came to pass "
in process of time " (
marg . "
at the end of days "),
i .
e .,
probably on the Sabbath ,
that the two brothers presented their offerings to the Lord .
Abel '
s offering was of the "
firstlings of his flock and of the fat ,"
while Cain '
s was "
of the fruit of the ground ."
Abel '
s sacrifice was "
more excellent " (
Heb .
11 :
4 )
than Cain '
s ,
and was accepted by God .
On this account Cain was "
very wroth ,"
and cherished feelings of murderous hatred against his brother ,
and was at length guilty of the desperate outrage of putting him to death (
1 John 3 :
12 ).
For this crime he was expelled from Eden ,
and henceforth led the life of an exile ,
bearing upon him some mark which God had set upon him in answer to his own cry for mercy ,
so that thereby he might be protected from the wrath of his fellow -
men ;
or it may be that God only gave him some sign to assure him that he would not be slain (
Gen .
4 :
15 ).
Doomed to be a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth ,
he went forth into the "
land of Nod ",
i .
e .,
the land of "
exile ",
which is said to have been in the "
east of Eden ,"
and there he built a city ,
the first we read of ,
and called it after his son '
s name ,
Enoch .
His descendants are enumerated to the sixth generation .
They gradually degenerated in their moral and spiritual condition till they became wholly corrupt before God .
This corruption prevailed ,
and at length the Deluge was sent by God to prevent the final triumph of evil . (
See {
ABEL }.)
(
2 .)
A town of the Kenites ,
a branch of the Midianites (
Josh .
15 :
57 ),
on the east edge of the mountain above Engedi ;
probably the "
nest in a rock "
mentioned by Balaam (
Num .
24 :
21 ).
It is identified with the modern Yekin ,
3 miles south -
east of Hebron .
