Commentary on Genesis 4:16

Theological / Devotional

Cain went out. He felt neither remorse nor repentance, but only the heavy burden of God’s displeasure. He left the divine presence, probably never to return, and began his life as a wanderer in the land of Nod, to the east of Eden. This antediluvian land, whose name means “wandering,” “flight,” or “exile,” became the home of the godless descendants of Cain.
