Then, no longer confined to the settlements of the gods, Man began to roam the Earth...At this point...according to the Bible...Man began to specialize in what would always constitute his favorite activity...begetting...Adam kicked off the process by “knowing his wife, Eve”...and rather too promptly was rewarded with Cain...then Abel...the first becoming the farmer and the other, the sheepherder.

Almost immediately grand daddy god began to play favorites, liking Abel’s offering of sheep and finding Cain’s offering of the fruit of the field inadequate...Kind of makes you wonder about them sheep, doesn’t it?...In any case, this blatant favoritism resulted in Cain raising a cain at Abel, and then heading east of Edin...despite the injunction of “Go west, young man, go west...

The bible follows Cain’s adventures for several generations, including his begetting a son, Enoch...the latter name meaning “foundation”)...In the book of Jubilees, “Cain espoused his own sister Awan and she bore him Enoch at the close of the fourth Jubilee...Nothing like keeping it in the family...

One might wonder why the Lord God already had Cain down for a sinner (Genesis 4:7)...Was Cain, perhaps, born in the garden?...Keep in mind that somehow god had managed to figure out that Adam and Eve were fooling around...and at the same time, failing to fool god...Does this explain why God did not respect Cain’s offering?...Was god playing favorites, nursing an old grudge?...Maybe...

It is curious that god in his benevolence decided to grant one last boon to Cain...After committing Adam’s eldest son to be a fugitive and a vagabond...and hearing Cain complain that his days as a traveler were surely numbered...god then gave Cain a passport to freedom...a mark upon Cain...advertising in effect...that anyone taking vengeance on Cain’s body was going to have seven generations to regret the act...This doesn't sound like a mad god...Does it?...

One would have to believe that it was the creator god who took pity on Cain (and certainly not god...god)!...It clearly makes no sense that after having cursed him and thrown him out of the state...not just the garden...that a single god would have provided him with diplomatic immunity for the homicidal sibling in his future travels...Unless that god had a split personality...??

Meanwhile back at the Sumerian ranch...there are references in the texts to the Amakandu..."People Who In Sorrow Roam”...The Sumerian texts go on to state “Banned be thou from the soil which hath received thy brother’s blood... a restless nomad shalt thou be upon the earth.”

It doesn’t take a Vulcan Grand Master of Logic to figure that Ka’in is Cain...and Dunnu is the biblical Nud...It is also noteworthy that the archaic Assyrian King List states that in the earliest times...when their forefathers were tent-dwellers...the patriarch of their people was named Adamu...

There is also the notable fact that the Bible then spends the next nine verses telling of Cain’s lineage...and even suggesting additional divine intervention...
