the legend slays him (Genesis 4).
this allegory signifies that "Jehovah-Cain,
the male part of
adam the dual man,
having separated himself from Eve,
creates in
her 'Abel,'
the first natural woman,
and sheds the Virgin blood" (SD 2:388).
cain and Abel represent
the third root-race or
the "
Separating Hermaphrodite" (SD 2:134).
again "beginning
with Cain,
the first murderer,

his line of
descent is a murderer. . . . In
the Talmud this genealogy is
given complete,
and thirteen murderers range themselves in
line below the name of Cain.

siva is

cain is a murderer,
but he is
also the creator of nations,
and an inventor" (IU 2:447-8). In
biblical genealogy,
the line of
cain is Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methusael,
and Lemech,
whose sons were Jubal, Jabal,
and Tubal-cain;
the line of Seth,
the third son of
adam and Eve, is
enos (Enoch), Cainan, Mehalaleel, Jarad (or Irad), Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,
and noah (Genesis 4-5). Blavatsky
calls it "fruitless [to]
attempt to
disconnect the genealogies of
cain and of Seth, or to
conceal the identity of
names under a
different spelling. . . .
all these are symbols (Kabalistically) of
solar and lunar years, of
astronomical periods,
and of
physiological (phallic) functions,
just as in
any other pagan symbolical creed" (SD 2:391n).

the first-born
son of
adam and eve (Gen. 4). He
became a
tiller of
the ground, as
his brother abel followed the pursuits of
pastoral life. He
was "a sullen, self-willed, haughty,
vindictive man;
wanting the religious element in
his character,
and defiant even in
his attitude towards God." It
came to
pass "in
process of time" (marg. "at
the end of days"), i.e.,
probably on
the Sabbath,
that the two brothers presented their offerings to
the Lord. Abel's
offering was of
the "firstlings of
his flock and of
the fat,"
while Cain's
was "of
the fruit of
the ground." Abel's
sacrifice was "more excellent" (Heb. 11:4)
than Cain's,
and was accepted by God. On
this account cain was "very wroth,"
and cherished feelings of
murderous hatred against his brother,
and was at
length guilty of
the desperate outrage of
putting him to
death (1
john 3:12).
for this crime he
was expelled from Eden,
and henceforth led the life of an exile,
bearing upon him some mark which god had set upon him in
answer to
his own cry for mercy, so
that thereby he
might be
protected from the wrath of
his fellow-men; or it
may be
that god only gave him some sign to
assure him that he
would not be
slain (Gen. 4:15).
doomed to be a
wanderer and a
fugitive in
the earth, he
went forth into the "land of Nod", i.e.,
the land of "exile",
which is
said to
have been in
the "east of Eden,"
and there he
built a city,
the first we
read of,
and called it
after his son's name, Enoch.
his descendants are enumerated to
the sixth generation.
