359. Verse 6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why has your anger been set ablaze, and why has your face 1 fallen?

'Jehovah said to Cain' was the dictate of conscience. 'Anger has been set ablaze and the face 1 has fallen' means, as previously, the departure of charity and the change that took place in interiors.

Footnotes:

1. literally, faces
