392. Verse 15. And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should smite him. By “vengeance being taken sevenfold on anyone who slays Cain” is signified that to do violence to faith even when thus separated would be a sacrilege; “Jehovah set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should smite him” signifies that the Lord distinguished faith in a particular manner, in order that it might be preserved.
