The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
Genesis 4:15
37 | tn The Hebrew term לָכֵן (lakhen, “therefore”) in this context carries the sense of “Okay,” or “in that case then I will do this.” |
38 | |
39 | tn Heb “sign”; “reminder.” The term “sign” is not used in the translation because it might imply to an English reader that God hung a sign on Cain. The text does not identify what the “sign” was. It must have been some outward, visual reminder of Cain’s special protected status. |
40 | sn God becomes Cain’s protector. Here is common grace—Cain and his community will live on under God’s care, but without salvation. |
