In the book of Jasher, Cain is portrayed in a more detailed and nuanced manner compared to the somewhat limited description provided in the canonical Bible. Of Cain’s fate in Genesis, we know that after killing brother Abel, he is marked and banished by God, which leads him to building his own city (which is named after his son Enoch). Beyond this, Genesis doesn’t give us much else in regards to the character of Cain. We don’t know what happens to the city of Enoch, we don’t know where it was located and most importantly, we aren’t told what happens to Cain after he’s completed its construction. The Book of Jasher seeks to fill these holes, telling us at the end of Chapter 1 that ‘In that time the Lord began to give [Cain] rest and quiet in the earth’, suggesting that God gave him respite in his banishment and allowed him to live a better life than readers of the traditional bible might’ve expected. But as the Book of Jasher shows us, Cain’s murder of Abel does not go unpunished and whilst Cain was allowed to live – whether as a wanderer or a builder, he was still struck down by the hand of another – a somewhat poetic end for the first very first murderer.

Cain was the first murderer… Lamech went serial with it
Where did this information come from?
Lamech is such a disappointing patriarch of Cain.
