359. Verse 6. And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why is thine anger kindled? and why are thy faces fallen? “Jehovah said unto Cain” means that conscience dictated; that his “anger was kindled, and that his countenance fell” signifies as before that charity had departed, and that the interiors were changed.
