Synopsis:
After Cain went away in banishment he had sons named Enoch. Enoch's great-great grandson was Lamech. Lamech seems to have been boastful in claiming that even though God had said Cain's murder would be avenged 7 times the one who would harm Lamech would be avenged 77 times.
At about then Eve had another son named Seth. Seth's son was named Enosh. In the time of Enosh people began to worship God.
Questions:
What does the story of Lamech have to do with anything? It seems very unclear.
Where did Cain find a wife? If Adam and Eve were the only people then where did Cain's wife come from? Does this give credence to what I mentioned in the last post that God possibly chose Adam out of a bunch of already existing people to be special And to fulfill his will?
The story of Cain and Abel had to deal with sacrifices and yet it was only in the time of Enosh that people began to worship. What then is the difference between sacrifice and worship?
