The Establishment of a godless society
Starting a family
Cain would have no doubt married his sister (Genesis 5.4)
Later on God would prohibit such a union and there are plenty of reasons for that.
Here it is a necessity and this early in genetic chain, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Since these people live so long, its not even necessary that he grew up with her.
Abraham married his half-sister and when it was time for their son and grandson to marry they too married family members, descendants of Abraham’s brother.
Creation of a city
There are some who see this as a defiance to what God had told him (he would be a wanderer).
Indeed Nod is the land of wandering, but Cain is seen as building a city and naming it after his son whose name meant dedicated or initiated.
Specialized occupations
seven generations here
Wandering Herdsmen (Jabal means wanderer)
Metal workers
Arts (Jubal means sound)
Among many nations, the development of civilization is attributed to different gods, here the Bible lays out the case that human culture was developed by man in general, the descendants of Cain in particular.
The Degeneration of Society
Polygamy
(Genesis 2.24) First recorded case.
Think about it.
Adam and Eve fell morally and all their children were born sinners.
In the next generation one child killed another, 6 generations later a man has two wives.
I have not labored on this much, but it needs to be said, ground zero for Satan is your family.
Don’t forget that.
Violence
Some see this as bragging on Lamech’s part, others see that he acted in self defense, I think it is a little of both.
Notice the man wounded him (violence) and he responded with killing him (violence)
And he thought that if God protected Cain, he deserved it more.
A New Start
A new Son.
A new Seeking.
