FOOTNOTES:

← Notes on the Book of Genesis

[8] The word used by Cain is [Hebrew: minneso'] which occurs in Psalm xxxii. 1, "whose transgression is _forgiven_." The LXX. renders it by [Greek: aphethenai], "to be remitted."

[9] True, the Lord is using all those things for the furtherance of his own gracious ends; and the Lord's servant can freely use them also; but this does not hinder our seeing the spirit which originates and characterizes them.

[10] It is very evident that Enoch knew nothing whatever about the mode of "making the best of both worlds." To him there was but one world. Thus it should be with us.
