Did God's curse on Cain extend to only Cain, Cain's descendants or to everyone?
When God cursed Cain for killing Abel, did that curse extend to Cain's offspring, to Cain alone, or to everyone? God tells Cain: > "And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to...
When God cursed Cain for killing Abel, did that curse extend to Cain's offspring, to Cain alone, or to everyone? God tells Cain:
> "And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” Genesis 4:11-12 ESV
Later in Genesis, when tracing the genealogy of Cain's younger brother Seth, this next verse seems to indicate that the ground was cursed for everyone, not just Cain or his direct descendants?
>"When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed, this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” Genesis 5:28-29

Death becomes her?? But in real life

I’m doing some research if you could help. Question 1 How Is living a long life (900+ years) like some of Seth’s descendants not a direct sign of divinity. I’m not super religious but the grouping I’ve been working with lately helped me come to this understanding “things that shouldn’t have happened aren’t deeply explained and aren’t harmful/negative I tend to take as a sign or divinity.” Just bc there’s already so much unknown when it comes to religion an unnatural GOOD thing I just take as divinity amongst earth. That leads me to my next question multiple descendants of Seth lived to be 900+ That’s a direct sign of divinity (to me and my grouping) so if anyone has any insight any scripture you could point me too of what lifestyle these people (descendants of Seth ppl who have lived 900+) Kept any scripture where their character is mentioned that allotted them SUCH a long life. & ultimately what could’ve happened to tarnish that family to the point Noah was the only pure blood and no one lives to be 900 anymore. I’m very open minded opinions welcomed this is less about religion as a whole more about living to be 900 how that was possible and could be possible again The Bible is interpreted a lot of ways so any feedback is welcomed
Also I did see something about the calendar being different and some don’t believe they were actually that old.. saying it’s an exaggeration in writing

Why is the line from Seth to Noah often called righteous?
The line of descendants from Seth to Noah is often called righteous, in comparison to Cain's descendants who are called evil. This comes up when discussing Methuselah who although he died in the year of the flood supposedly can't have died in the flood because he was righteous, and as an explanation...
The line of descendants from Seth to Noah is often called righteous, in comparison to Cain's descendants who are called evil. This comes up when discussing Methuselah who although he died in the year of the flood supposedly can't have died in the flood because he was righteous, and as an explanation of what it means when the 'sons of God' took the 'daughters of men' in Genesis 6.
But Genesis 6:9 says Noah was the only blameless person alive!
Is there any evidence in the Bible to say that the rest of his ancestors were righteous rather than just being sinful like everyone else? (Excluding Enoch of course.)

Did the early church believe there were TWO types of descendant from the Nephalim?
The Bible quotes from earlier Books like the Book of Adam & Eve, Book of Seth, Book of Jashur etc; Rabboni Yeshua (Our Lord) read these books too and taught them to the early church without remittance, so we can assume that these books are safe for divine council today and that they will confirm or...
The Bible quotes from earlier Books like the Book of Adam & Eve, Book of Seth, Book of Jashur etc; Rabboni Yeshua (Our Lord) read these books too and taught them to the early church without remittance, so we can assume that these books are safe for divine council today and that they will confirm or expound what the Holy Bible informs. So I hope this will be classed as a Christian question and not sanctioned in anyway.
In an early Jewish text (I'm still trying to find it) apparently, two angels are discussing historical and future events. They refer to the giants as "Elephants" (who were wiped out in the deluge) and another "race" as "donkeys". These donkeys where other descendants of Nephalim who were normal human size but had superior intelligence. These apparently are still with us today.
Can you tell me the name of this book? Was someone in Noah's Ark a hybrid? How did giants reappear later if they were exterminated in the flood unless a high science brought them back? or does the bible just not tell us about other expeditions by other pre-flood people who too might have escaped the flood?
