QUOTE A “gist” of these attributions, comes to the mark being a curse to point Cain out very pointedly, and is to foretell something pertaining to the plan of salvation. Getting the mark had something to do with personal restraint. But it does not say that the mark is the curse. It is not there to point Cain out in a condemning way, like a scarlet letter. I also do not see how it is a mark of personal restrain on Cains' part. Rather it is a mark of protection for Cain. He is cast out of Gods' presence, but he is still under God's protection. The word for mark (heb ot) is used in exod 12;13. The mark parallels the same function as exod. 12:13, Josh 2: 12 (Hamilton, 235) Thus it is a mark that identifies Cain as being protected by God. Cain's punishment has to do with the soil and being a fugitive. This is a curse to become a wonderer, to loose all identity and community (Hamilton, 232) Cain once a farmer is now a vagabond with no community or identity, he is rootlesss, which is a big problem in ancient times.
