                          God cursed Cain to be an eternal wanderer:

> When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee
> her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

So he went to a (probably figure-of-speech) land of wandering, the land of Nod, this much I understand. But then he builds the first city, Enoch. How is it compatible with being an eternal wanderer?
