This section begins with the events surrounding the life of Noah. It starts with a demonic attempt to corrupt the Seed of the woman when fallen angels married human females and produced a race of supernatural beings.

The next section (toldoth) of Genesis 5 deals with the tracing of the Seed of the Woman (seed-line) through the descendants of Adam.

The two brothers, Cain and Abel, have submitted their offerings to God. But God only accepts Abel’s offering and rejects Cain’s. Cain refuses to listen to God and repent. Instead, he starts an argument with his brother and kills him. Like He did with his father Adam, God questions Cain and brings him into judgment. Cain is cursed forever from the presence and fellowship with God.
