Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Genesis 4:8-16

Genesis THE GROWTH AND POWER OF SIN Gen_4:3 - Gen_4:16 . Many lessons crowd on us from this section. Its general purport is to show the growth of sin, and its power to part man from man even as it has parted man from God. We may call the whole ‘The beginning of the fatal operations of sin on human society.’ 1. The first recorded act of worship occasions the first murder. Is not that only too correct a forecast of the oceans of blood which have been shed in the name of religion, and a... read more

Cain’s Career Genesis 4:9-26 God’s first question to the soul is, “Adam, where art thou?” The next, “Where is thy brother?” We are our brother’s keepers. All related to us, within our reach, or needing our help have a claim. We must not take advantage of them. Their well-being and our own are inseparable. God keeps an inventory of His saints, and will avenge them. Their blood will cry to God against those who have wronged them. There is only one cry in the world which is stronger-“the blood... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 4:1-26

The degeneration of the first man and woman was transmitted, the firstborn being manifestly an inheritor of the fallen nature of his parents. His mother named him Cain, intimating a hope that the seed had come which should bruise the head of the serpent. How little she knew of the nature of her own sin. Thus from the beginning sin manifested a wayward rebelliousness which ever tends to break the heart of fatherhood and motherhood; and experimentally some of the consciousness of the pain of God... read more

Seeing Christ in Cain and Abel Genesis 4:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Cain and Abel came by natural generation. The only human beings God ever created were Adam and Eve. They were created with the power to propagate their race. Every human being upon the earth came forth from the first created pair. 2. Cain and Abel received from their parents a sinful nature. The one was not good and the other bad. They were both alike evil. A bitter fountain cannot give forth sweet water, and both were sons... read more

AN EARLY CHAUVINIST‘And Lamech took unto him two wives,’ etc. Genesis 4:19-Jeremiah : Here we have I. A violator of the Divine law of marriage.—Monogamy was the Divine law of marriage, and in all likelihood this rule had been observed till Lamech’s time. The general opinion is, that Lamech was the first to disobey this law by taking ‘two wives.’ The fact would scarcely have been recorded, had it not been intended to note a new departure from the established order of things. ‘This was his... read more

THE FIRST TRUE WORSHIPPERS‘Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.’ Genesis 4:26 Prayer is speaking to God—on any subject, with any object, in any place, and in any way. I. Prayer so regarded is an instinct.—It seems to be natural to man to look upwards and address himself to his God. Even in the depth of lost knowledge and depraved feeling, the instinct of prayer will assert itself. A nation going to war with another nation will call upon its God for success and victory; and an... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 4:1-16

The Story of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1 to Genesis 5:1 a). Genesis 4:1-16 . The Sin of Cain TABLET III It is quite clear that this section once existed separately from Genesis 2-3. The immediate and lasting change from ‘Yahweh Elohim’ (Lord God) to ‘Yahweh’ (Lord), after the almost pedantic use of the former in the previous narrative, suggests this, as does the rather abrupt way in which the connection is made between the two accounts. The account is in covenant form being built around two... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 4:16

‘And Cain went away from the place of Yahweh, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.’ The land of Nod (nod = ‘wandering’) refers to the desert, the ‘land of wandering’. Man moves ever onward, eastwards from Eden, driven by sin, getting further and further away from Paradise. Leaving ‘the place of Yahweh’ suggests that the writer has in mind that Cain has now lost even that place where food could be obtained, the place that Yahweh had allowed man (the ‘face of the ground’? - v.14). Now he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 4:17

Genesis 4:17-24 . The Line of Cain. The following account was probably originally a second covenant record. It is built around the covenant recognised between Lamech and Yahweh, but in view of its reference back to Yahweh’s covenant with Cain it may well have been conjoined with the previous record immediately. It is, however interesting to note that neither God nor Yahweh is directly mentioned in this section. Genesis 4:17 ‘And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch (Chanokh),... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 4:18

The line of Cain is then outlined. In accordance with ancient genealogies only important descendants would be listed and the length of time to Lamech may have been considerable. The similarity to names in the line of Seth need not surprise us. They came of the same family roots and similarity of names is to be expected over time. The only name which is the same in both cases is Lamech, and the Lamechs are clearly distinguished. Besides we have here only the Hebrew forms of the names. Originally... read more
