My note: Note Cain driven from earth to earth??? Ref. Scripture Gen. 4:14

Cain driven from earth to earth???

Comment: This is not the only place where the King James translators got mixed up on there land/earth terminology and because of it we get Noah's flood and Lucifer's flood confused.

Scripture Genesis 4:8  And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14  Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

From the face of the earth and shall be in the earth.

Can't have it both ways, he  was either driven from the earth or he wasn't, i.e. BAD TRANSLATION

15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17  And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Comment:Noah's Flood happened only in the land where he lived; it was not universal like Lucifer's flood. When the translators called it earth in Genesis chapter 6 verse 7 rather then land they really confused the issue; same as here in verse 14 of chapter 4



Gen 4:14  Behold,2005 thou hast driven me out1644, (853) this day3117 from4480, 5921 the face6440 of the earth;127 ( should have been translated country or ground, not earth) and from thy face4480, 6440 shall I be hid;5641 and I shall be1961 a fugitive5128 and a vagabond5110 in the earth;776 and it shall come to pass,1961 that every one3605 that findeth4672 me shall slay2026 me.

H127
אדמה
'a?da?ma?h
ad-aw-maw'
From H119; soil (from its general redness): - country, earth, ground, husband [-man] (-ry),

H776
ארץ
'erets
eh'-rets
From an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land): -  X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X nations, way, + wilderness, world.

Gen 4:14  would then read Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the country;and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Now the verse makes sense Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the country or ground and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth



Same for Noah's flood - Genesis 6:7 should be country or ground, not earth.
Genesis 6:7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the country or ground; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air. for it repenteth me that I have made them

Noah's flood wasn't of the whole earth anymore than Cain was driven from the whole earth!  But, Lucifer's flood, Genesis 1:1-2, that was the whole earth!

Whole Earth created:
Gen 1:1  In the beginning7225 God430 created1254 (853) the heaven8064 and the earth.776

Whole Earth destroyed:
Gen 1:2  And the earth776 was1961 without form,8414 and void;922 and darkness2822 was upon5921 the face6440 of the deep.8415 And the Spirit7307 of God430 moved7363 upon5921 the face6440 of the waters.4325
