* The Great Wanderer *
Cain, after being cursed by God for becoming humanity's first murderer, fled Eden in an easterly direction into the land of Nod. This land, in Hebrew, means "wandering" or "vagrancy."
The land of Nod received its name due to Cain wandering within it (Genesis 4:11 - 12). His restless wandering and inability to experience internal peace, caused by unrepentant sin, was first suffered by Lucifer after he rebelled against God (see Job 1:7, 2:2, 1Peter 5:8).
