Cross-References
but he did not accept Cain and his gift. So Cain became very angry and felt rejected.
The Lord asked Cain, "Why are you angry? Why do you look so unhappy?
And now you will be cursed in your work with the ground, the same ground where your brother's blood fell and where your hands killed him.
You will work the ground, but it will not grow good crops for you anymore, and you will wander around on the earth."
Then Cain said to the Lord , "This punishment is more than I can stand!
Today you have forced me to stop working the ground, and now I must hide from you. I must wander around on the earth, and anyone who meets me can kill me."
The Lord said to Cain, "No! If anyone kills you, I will punish that person seven times more." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain warning anyone who met him not to kill him.
So Cain went away from the Lord and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who became the first person to live in tents and raise cattle.
If Cain's killer is punished seven times, then Lamech's killer will be punished seventy-seven times."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Meonothai,.... Another son of Othniel:
begat Ophrah; and Seraiah, the brother of Othniel, begat Joab; not David's general, but another of the same name, who lived long before him, see 1 Chronicles 2:54
the father of the valley of Charashim: of the inhabitants of the valley, or the prince of them, called the valley of craftsmen, Nehemiah 11:35 the reason of which is here given:
for they were craftsmen; that dwelt in it, carpenters and smiths, both which the word signifies, men that wrought in stone, wood, and iron.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The words “and Meonothai” should he added to the end of 1 Chronicles 4:13; but they should be retained also at the commencement of 1 Chronicles 4:14. Or, see the marginal note.
