Do you know who, according to the book of Genesis, founded the very first city ever?
It was Cain, Adam and Eve’s son—the same Cain who was the first murderer. Cain was the firstborn son of the very first people, the oldest member of the first generation who had never lived in Eden. After he killed his own brother, Abel, in a dispute over sacrifices to the LORD, he was sent out into the land of Nod—which means “Nowhere”—with a mark of God’s protection on his forehead. The first murderer built the first city, and named it after his eldest son, Enoch.
