The name is often interpreted to mean "acquired" or "possessed," reflecting Eve's declaration upon his birth: "I have acquired a man with the help of the LORD" (Genesis 4:1, BSB). Cain is most notably recognized for his role in the first murder recorded in the Bible, where he kills his brother Abel out of jealousy and anger.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Cain's account is foundational in Judeo-Christian teachings, illustrating the consequences of sin, the nature of human jealousy, and the importance of offering one's best to God. The narrative of Cain and Abel also sets the stage for the theme of sibling rivalry and the moral decline of humanity post-Fall.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from un unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a spear<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>spear (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
