Footnotes
| 186 | Cain’s descendants are put through a lot. Irad means fleet or fugitive [segregated, removed-one] (#5897) and Mehujael means struck by el (#4232). Lamech apparently means “powerful” or perhaps a compound of prepositions and a suffix: To-from-you. Dedicated, a.k.a. Enoch, a type of Christ. |
