Wrapping up Genesis 4:

18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
21And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
23And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.


OK, not much to talk about in today's reading. I only want to comment on this:

1) I wonder why we don't hear more about Seth?

2) It sounds like Eve didn't have more children between Cain, Abel and Seth because:

25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

3) Interesting to me is how apparently Cain's descendants didn't worship God. It wasn't until Seth' Seth's son that we read:

26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

Because it's noted that Cain's descendants did this and that and Seth's began to call upon the name of the Lord, it means to me that Cain's descendants did not call upon the name of the Lord. How is it that you can be Cain, or be one generation from Cain or even say four generations from Cain and not worship God. You have heard the story first hand !! Goes to show how humans are. Faith doesn't come easily.
