The Mark Of Cain — What Was It?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles, uncategorizedA querist asks, “In Genesis 4:15, what is the mark set upon Cain? Does anyone know?”
The “mark” set upon Cain in Genesis 4:15 signifies “a sign” or “token” (cf. Genesis 9:13-NKJV). The Lord appointed to Cain a token or sign to convince him that no person should be permitted to slay him. What this token or sign was, the Bible doesn’t specifically say.
