From the KJV 1611 with Strong's Concordance

The Seed of Cain - Genesis 4 word study

Here we will explore the information available in Genesis 4 regarding the lineage of Cain using Strong's Concordance with excerts from the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jasher.

H7014 Qayin {kah-yin} The same as H7013 (with a play upon the affinity to H7069); Kajin, the name of the first child, also of a place in Palestine, and of an Oriental (eastern) tribe - Cain.
H7013 qayin {kah-yin} from H6969 in the original sense of fixity; a lance (as striking fast) spear.
Used: spear 2 Samuel 21:16.
  • H6969 quwn {koon} A primitive root: to strike a musical note, that is, chant or wail (at a funeral).
H7069 qanah {kaw-naw} to erect, that is, create; by extension to procure, especially by purchase (causatively sell); by implication to own.

Cain, a tiller of the ground.

In Genesis 4:2 we read that Cain was a tiller of the ground.

H5647 abad {aw-bad} A primitive root; to work (in any case); by implication to serve, till, (causatively) enslave, etc
Used: been 1 Samuel 4:9, bondage Exodus 6:5, bondmen Leviticus 25:46, bondservice 1 Kings 9:21, caused Ezekiel 29:18


Interesting: In Strong's Concordance there is an identical version of word abad:
H0006 'abad {aw-bad} A primitive root; properly to wander away, that is lose oneself; by implication to perish (causitively, destroy).
It is the root word for H0011 abaddown the origin for G0003 Abaddon the Hebrew name for the angel in the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:11

Also in Chaldee
servants H5649 abad {ab-bad} (Chaldee); from H5648; a servant. See Daniel 2:4, 7; 3:26, 28; 6:20. Ezra 4:11; 5:11.
destroy H0007 abad {ab-ad} (Chaldee); corresponding to H0006.

Cain the founder of cities

From the canonical scripture we learn that it was the seed of Cain who first began to aquire the secret knowledge. In Genesis 4:17 after Cain murders his brother Abel he goes to dwell in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden and there builds the first city for his son Enoch (meaning initiated).
Note: It was at the east of the garden of Eden that God placed guarding Cherubims, and a flaming sword to keep the way from man taking from the tree of life and eat, and live for ever see: Genesis 3:22-24.
When we look into the Hebrew word for 'city' we discover it means a guarded place with a watch. What were they guarding? Who were they watching or watching out for?

H5892 iyr {eer} From H5782; a city (a place guarded by waking or a watch) in the widest sense (even of a mere encampment or post).
  • H5782 uwr {oor} A primitive root (rather identical with H5783 through the idea of opening the eyes); to wake (literally or figuratively).
    Used: arise Habakkuk 2:19. awake Judges 5:12, 12, 12, 12. Job 8:6. Psalms 7:6; 44:23; 57:8, 8; 59:4; 108:2, 2... awakest Psalms 73:20. master Malachi 2:12. out Job 14:12. raise Jeremiah 50:9. Joel 3:7. raised Ezra 1:5. Song of Songs 8:5. Jeremiah 6:22. raising Hosea 7:4. up Deuteronomy 32:11. 2 Samuel 23:18. 1 Chronicles 5:26... waked Zechariah 4:1. wakened Joel 3:12. Zechariah 4:1. wakeneth Isaia 50:4, 4. waketh Song of Songs 5:2.


Note: In Genesis 3:5 we read of the serpent tells Eve that if she eats of the forbidden tree then her eyes will be opened and become wise.
"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

A repetitive pattern of destruction is observed throughout the historical record. In the old testament Enoch (pre flood), Babel, Nineveh, Sodom, Gomorrah, Jericho, Babylon, Jerusalem all went rotten because the rulers end up rejecting the commandments of God. God in all his grace and love sends them prophets warning them to repent, to turn from their evil but sadly in most cases the rulers and their councel turned on the prophets.


Interesting: The root word for city is 'uwr' {oor} and also the name (phoenetically) of a post-flood city called 'Ur' located in modern day Iraq. It was also the city where Abraham lived, where idol worship and pantheism had taken root again after it was wiped out by the great flood.

In Jasher chapter 2:18 we read that Adah conceived and bare Jabal, then conceived again and bares Jubal whilst Zillah, her sister was barren in those days. In verse 19 we read that men began to trespass against God's commandment to be fruitful and multiply on the earth. In verse 20 we read that some of the sons of men caused their wives to drink a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might retain their figures and keep their beautiful appearances (see Antimony). In verse 21 we read that Zillah was one of those who drank the draught. Verse 23 reads And in the end of days and years, when Zillah became old, the Lord opened her womb. She then conceives and bares Tubal-Cain and conceives again and bares Naamah.

Daughters of Seth in union with the decendants of Cain?

In the book of Jasher Ch. 2:16 we read that Adah and Zillah were sisters and the daughters of Cainan, who was the grandson of Seth. According to the Book of Jasher, Adah and Zillah were both given in marriage to Lamech creating a union between the line of Seth with the line of Cain. They begin to live together which is portrayed in the 2nd vision of Enoch in 86:2.

H7018 Qeynan {kay-nawn} From the same as H7064; fixed; Kenan, an antediluvian.

      Used: nest Isaiah 34:15. Jeremiah 22:23; 48:28. nests Psalms 104:17. Ezekiel 31:6.


Cainan the Ruler of the Antediluvian World
Interesting: In the book of Jasher Chapter 2:11 we read:
"And Cainan grew up and he was forty years old, and he became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over all the sons of men, and he led the sons of men to wisdom and knowledge; for Cainan was a very wise man and had understanding in all wisdom, and with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons;"
In verse 12 we read that Cainan knew by his wisdom that the Lord would destroy man with a great flood for sinning on the earth.
In verse 13 we read that Cainan wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place and then puts the tablets with the rest of his treasures.
In verse 14 Cainan who is reigning over the whole earth turns some of the sons of men to the service of God?

If this was the case then Cainan was also "initiated", with his wisdom and knowledge channelled directly from the fallen Watchers as described in Enoch. Cainan's abilities to rule over spirits and demons would have allowed him to manipulate and deceive the sons of men to his advantage, making him appear to be extremely wise, powerful and unstoppable like a pre-Solomon, and a Pontifex Maximus figure. By these means he would have ruled over the whole earth. Not wanting his rule to end (unfixing his nest) and with the fore knowledge of the coming destruction he decides to turn some men towards the service of God in hope of changing this outcome. I am hypothesising or course, but If the book of Jasher is true regarding Cainan it would also suggest that Zillah was also familiar (initiated) with the methods of communing with spirits and demons as her name clearly suggests.
It would also explain the extraordinary knowledge that both Adah and Zillah's children became endowed with.

In Enoch's second vision in chapter 86:1 we read that in the vision Enoch saw a star that falls from heaven who can be identified as the figure Azazel, the first of the fallen Watchers. Was this the beginning of Cainan's new found wisdom and his ability to rule over men and the earth?

The beginnings of Metallurgy
Tubal-Cain was an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron meaning he could fabricate/fashion anything out of iron or brass.
"And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures."
Enoch 8:1


Molten Images for the Whole Earth
"And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers--the most secret ones--and all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth:"
