3069.—What Was the Mark? Gen. 4:15.—

N. J. E.—That we do not know, nor do we know of any one who knows what mark God set upon Cain. It was that which branded him in a twofold sense: first, that he was the one who slew his brother; and secondly, that the punishment of that murder rested with God. The Revised Version reads, “And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.” That is, Cain was to make himself known by a certain sign that others would recognize.
