1. And the man knew Havvah, his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to- Cain, and she said, " I have gotten a man with Jahveh." By this play on words (quanah, to acquire, and quain, the acquisition), the author assumes that Eve spoke Hebrew, just as Adam spoke shouldst rule over him. Gen. Hi. 17 : Cursed is the ground for thy sake. Cf. iv. 11 : Cursed art thou from the ground. Gen. iii. 9 : (After Adam's sin), where art thou ? Cf. iv. 9 : Where is Abel, thy brother ?

f Dillmann, " Gen.," i. 184. Schrader derives Abel from the Babylonian Habal, which means son, a not uncommon proper name. Cheyne regards the first meaning of Cain as " artificer." Encycl. Biblica, art. " Cain." (270) Digitized by VjOOQ IC Cain's Offering Hebrew when he called his wife's name Hav- vah.* The expression " I have gotten a man with Jahveh " is a curious one. The natural translation would be, " I have obtained Jahveh as a husband," which would be meaningless, so we must rather understand it, " I have gotten a man-child with the help and blessing of Jah- veh." 2.
