(Genesis 4:10) Don't know if we are to comment or ask questions in this thread? But I just have to say this... Whenever I read how God spoke these words, there is something powerful about it in my spirit. Anyone else get that sense? Any significance to why it says crieth to me from the ground? Is that just a poetic way of God telling Cain he is aware of what happened? (We know the ground is where Abel's blood was shed.) Silly question maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
