Nod
A place in the Bible
The land where Cain went to live, east of Eden, after he killed his brother Abel.
What happened here
- Cain: he went away from the presence of the Lord and settled east of Eden.
- In the Douay-Rheims: this translation does not give the name Nod. It says Cain “dwelt as a fugitive on the earth.”
Today
