330. Charity extinguished is called the “voice of bloods” (verse 10); perverted doctrine, the “curse from the ground” (verse 11); the falsity and evil originating thence, the “fugitive and wanderer in the earth” (verse 12). And as they had averted themselves from the Lord, they were in danger of eternal death (verses 13-14). But as it was through faith that charity would afterwards be implanted, faith was made inviolable, and this is signified by the “mark set upon Cain” (verse 15). And its removal from its former position is denoted by “Cain dwelling toward the east of Eden” (verse 16).
