338. Verse 1 'And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain; and she said, I have gained a man, Jehovah'. 1

'The man and Eve his wife' means the Most Ancient Church, as is well known. Its first offspring, or firstborn, is faith, which is here called 'Cain'. 'She said, I have gained a man, Jehovah' means that with those called Cain faith was known and acknowledged as something existing by itself.

脚注:

1. Grammatically Jehovah is at this point accusative or objective case.
