- Transcription
I the Lord set a mark upon Cain: The second protective aspect is the mark that would visually remind any avenger of God's decree about seven lives for the life of Cain. This mark is not the same as the curse, which carried multiple penalties (see Moses 5:36–37, 41).
- BHR Staff Commentary
Draper et al. are commenting on Moses 5:40, which is identical to Genesis 4:15.
