כְּשֵׁם שֶׁלִּמֵּד שַׁבָּת זְכוּת עַל אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֹן, כָּךְ לִמֵּד עַל קַיִן. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: קֶרֶן קָבַע בְּמִצְחוֹ.
English translation (Berman): There are some who say that the word "Sabbath" was placed as a sign upon his countenance, as it is said: My Sabbaths, for it is the sign between Me and you, throughout your generations (Exod. 3:13), and that just as the Sabbath pleaded in behalf of Adam, it pleaded in behalf of Cain. Others, however, insist that He fastened a horn upon his forehead.
