Reply to comment by moonbunnychan in TIL 'The Land of Nod' is originally a biblical reference of a sort of purgatory where Cain was exiled after murdering Abel -- rather than a 'dreamland' sleepytime dealie as it is now colloquially known. by quicxly

yea. some people say that cains wife and the people he was afraid were going to kill him were all the future sons and daughters that adam and eve had. people back then lived a long time. future sons and daughters would know what cain had done and why he was living out there. genesis condenses lots of history and its probably not exhaustive.
