Cain's Genealogy and Urban Development

Cain, after being exiled, establishes the first city named after his son Enoch, indicating a significant shift from a rural to an urban lifestyle. This action implies that there are enough people for a city to exist, suggesting that Cain’s lineage has grown despite the curse placed upon him. The construction of the city can be seen as an attempt to navigate his cursed existence through commerce, craftsmanship, and trade rather than repenting for his sins. This move away from the agrarian lifestyle represents themes of civilization and societal development, intertwined with Cain’s inherent wickedness.
