That Abel symbolizes Space and Cain Time, and that a theory on Cain's error is that he didn't offer up cooked / processed food. In other words, Cain didn't allow Time to condition Space via cooking. (The carving is on the Ghent altarpiece in St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent, Belgium, while the mosaic is at the Cathedral of the Assumption, Monreale, Sicily)

@sympractical Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Pay attention to my words, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me! If Cain is avenged seven times, Then Lamech seventy-seven times!



Day 4: God stops naming His creations. Days 5–6: Adam names the creatures. God doesn’t name again until Abraham, Sarah, and Israel. Is this tied to His promise to make Abraham’s seed like the stars of heaven? Joseph’s dream echoes the pattern. Did God wait to name the stars?
