Most everyone is familiar with Cain, the first child of Adam and Eve. Dejected and angry because God rejected his unworthy sacrifice, Cain killed his brother Abel and, as punishment, was driven from his homeland and forced to wander the earth. Eventually he lived in a place “east of Eden” referred to as the land of Nod, which means “wanderings.” Whether or not that territory was literally named “Nod” or not, is unimportant.
