Berean Strong's Lexicon
qayin: Cain

Original Word: קַיִן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: qayin
Pronunciation: kah'-yin
Phonetic Spelling: (kah'-yin)
Definition: Cain
Meaning: a lance

Word Origin: Derived from the root קָנָה (qanah), meaning "to acquire" or "to possess."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2535 (Kain): The Greek transliteration of Cain, used in the New Testament references to Cain.

Usage: The name "Cain" is primarily associated with the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, as recorded in the Book of Genesis. The name is often interpreted to mean "acquired" or "possessed," reflecting Eve's declaration upon his birth: "I have acquired a man with the help of the LORD" (Genesis 4:1, BSB). Cain is most notably recognized for his role in the first murder recorded in the Bible, where he kills his brother Abel out of jealousy and anger.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Cain's account is foundational in Judeo-Christian teachings, illustrating the consequences of sin, the nature of human jealousy, and the importance of offering one's best to God. The narrative of Cain and Abel also sets the stage for the theme of sibling rivalry and the moral decline of humanity post-Fall.
