God marked Cain so no one would kill him — protection AND stigma. He founded a city (Enoch) and his descendants invented music (Jubal), metalworking (Tubal-Cain), and tent-dwelling (Jabal). The first murderer was also the first civilizer. In Gnostic tradition, Cain is sometimes the son of the Demiurge or Samael rather than Adam. In Jewish tradition, Lamech (Cain’s descendant) accidentally killed Cain while hunting.
