* Cain Firsts *
Cain's genealogy found in Genesis 4 is the first of at least twenty-four found in the Bible! Twenty-two of these are recorded in the Old Testament, such as those for Japheth (Genesis 10:1 - 5), Ham (verses 6 - 20), Shem (verses 22 - 31), Abraham (Genesis 25:1 - 4, 12 - 18) and others.
Cain built the first city recorded in the Bible and named it after his son Enoch (Genesis 4:17).
It was Cain, according to Josephus, who first created various weights and measures (Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1, Chapter 2, Section 2).
