Enoch (City) [1]
In Genesis 4:17 it is narrated that Cain, who had taken up his abode in the land of Nod, East of Eden ( Genesis 4:16 ), built there a city, and called it after the name of his firstborn son Enoch. It is impossible to fix more definitely the locality of this first of cities, recorded, as Delitzsch says ( Genesis , in the place cited.), as registering an advance in civilization. The "city" would be a very simple affair, a place of protection for himself, wife and household, perhaps connected with the fear spoken of in Genesis 4:14 .
