21 Und der Name seines Bruders war Jubal; dieser war der Vater aller derer, welche mit der Laute und der Flöte umgehen.

397. Verse 16. And Cain went out from the faces of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden. By the words “Cain went out from the faces of Jehovah” is signified that faith was separated from the good of the faith of love; “he dwelt in the “land of Nod” signifies outside of truth and good; “toward the east of Eden” is near the intellectual mind, where love reigned before.
