An Application
GE 4:20-22 gave a record of some 8th generation humans who were very creative. We're told in some museums and texbooks that early people were primative, but the Bible explicitly says otherwise. They may have had more primative tools, but they were not psychologically simpler than us. / We begin to see in GE 4:23 how humanity is decaying, which will haunt us in the next story. / Adam (and most early people) lived a long time (GE 5:4-5, 47:7-9) which showed how good God's original design was.
Connect the Dots
All of Cain's descendants probably died in the worldwide flood. We'll see in LK 3:37-38 that Jesus was a descendent of Enoch, but specifically the Enoch of GE 5:21-24 not of GE 4:17-18. In GE 5:24, Enoch became the first of two people in the Bible to go to heaven without dying (compare 2KI 2:11). / In GE 5:25-27 ​we have the record of the oldest human who ever lived.
