Genesis 4:1
“And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 4Meaning
Eve bears Cain and speaks of receiving a son with the LORD's help. The verse opens life east of Eden with birth, dependence and hope.
Read carefully
The Hebrew wording of Eve's statement is debated, so the verse should not be pressed into a precise claim that the text itself does not settle.
Reflection
The new generation begins with life received as gift, while the rest of the chapter will show how human freedom and responsibility remain morally serious.
