👉Cain, the firstborn, was a farmer, [Plants, the etherbody] Abel was a shepherd. [Animals, the astral body]
👉The brothers made sacrifices to God, each of his own produce, but God favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. [God could talk to the astral body through dreamlanguage]
👉Cain then murdered Abel, [Abel, the astral body, was yet not ready to enter the physical world, Cain, the etheric body was not yet ready to accept the astral body.]
👉whereupon God punished Cain to a life of wandering.
Cain then dwelt in the land of Nod (נוֹד, "wandering"), where he built a city and fathered the line of descendants beginning with Enoch. [He build a city, here we have Gilgamesh.]
[Enoch places himself before God as his face, he is hereafter known as Michael.]
👉In one of the Legends of the Jews, Cain is the fruit of a union between Eve and Satan, who is also the angel Samael and the serpent in the Garden of Eden, and Eve exclaims at Cain's birth, "I have gotten a man through an angel of the Lord."
👉According to the Life of Adam and Eve, Cain fetched his mother a reed (qaneh) which is how he received his name Qayin (Cain). The symbolism of him fetching a reed may be a nod to his occupation as a farmer, as well as a commentary to his destructive nature.
👉👉He is also described as "lustrous", which may reflect the Gnostic association of Cain with the sun.[Vishnu, the etheric.]
Akin to Ancient Greek κάννα (kánna) (from Akkadian 𒄀 (qanû, “reed”), see further etymology there) with similar meaning. Compare with English cane, canon, cannon, canal, and channel.

👉Cain is described as a city-builder, and the forefather of tent-dwelling pastoralists, all lyre and pipe players, and bronze and iron smiths. [Gilgamesh.]
In an alternate translation of Genesis 4:17, endorsed by a minority of modern commentators, Cain's son Enoch builds a city and names it after his son, Irad. Such a city could correspond with Eridu, one of the most ancient cities known. …
In the New Testament, Cain is cited as an example of unrighteousness in 1 John 3:12 and Jude 1:11. The Targumim, rabbinic sources, and later speculations supplemented background details for the daughters of Adam and Eve.
👉Such exegesis of Genesis 4 introduced Cain's wife as being his sister, a concept that has been accepted for at least 1800 years.
👉This can be seen with Jubilees 4 which narrates that Cain settled down and married his sister 👉Awan, who bore his first son, the first Enoch, approximately 196 years after the creation of Adam.
👉Cain then establishes the first city, naming it after his son, builds a house, and lives there until it collapses on him, killing him.
👉Various early commentators have said that Cain and Abel have sisters, usually twin sisters. According to Rabbi Joshua ben Karha as quoted in Genesis Rabbah, "Only two entered the bed, and seven left it: Cain and his twin sister, Abel and his two twin sisters."
