"Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord."
It is significant that Adam names Eve only after their fall. Nevertheless God had blessed them even before they were formed, As Cain the firstborn he ought to have carried as the heir of promise. He proved by his deeds that he was unfit. "If thou does well will not thou be accepted" does not change since God cannot deny his holiness.
Eve under curse and as the mother of all living bares Cain who is the head of a family and his genealogy reveals they went into arts and crafts. Also significant is the fact she bares a godly child who is called Abel who is qualified in the book of life as the righteous one.( 1 John 3:12) From vv.18-24 we have a list of names, which is typical of artisans whose mastery is essential for burnishing the gloss of urban life to a sheen. Notwithstanding not all were city dwellers as Cain was. "And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle." (v.20).
Then there were Jubal ("He was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ,"v.21) and Tubalcain ( an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron"-v.22). God set Adam to keep the ground, meaning that God chose his tasks while Cain's progeny as mentioned here above chose their careers to prosper in their new environment. Henceforth the city would shape them so their families would have altogether livelihood of their choice, which meant they would set before them new priorities entirely different than Adam had. At the end of this chapter we read this verse,"Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord." Father Mendel did not tell anything new with his experiment with peas and we have how God works with His creation. The two worlds set in Adam carried 'bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh' and it showed up in Abel and later in Seth. This would set a holy family which shall be gathered for the Millennial Reign.
