338. Verse 1. And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man [vir], Jehovah. By the “man and Eve his wife” is signified the Most Ancient Church, as has been made known; its first offspring, or firstborn, is faith, which is here called “Cain;” her saying “I have gotten a man, Jehovah” signifies that with those called “Cain” faith was recognized and acknowledged as a thing by itself.
