Bible Passages from the episode:
Psa. 57:8 Awake, my glory!2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! Psa. 71:22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O mHoly One of Israel. Psa. 81:2 Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.
Quotes from the episode:
Genesis by John Calvin "Moses, however, expressly celebrates the remaining benediction of God on [Cain's family], which otherwise would have been deemed void and barren of all good. Let us then know, that the sons of Cain, though deprived of the Spirit of regeneration, were yet endued with gifts of no despicable kind; just as the experience of all ages teaches us how widely the rays of divine light have shone on unbelieving nations, for the benefit of the present life; and we see, at the present time, that the excellent gifts of the Spirit are diffused through the whole human race."
Tyndale Commenatry on Genesis by Derek Kidner "A biased account would have ascribed nothing good to Cain. The truth is more complex: God was to make much use of Cainite techniques for his people, from the semi-nomadic discipline itself to the civilized arts and crafts (e.g. Exod. 35:35).6 The phrase he was the father of all such acknowledges the debt and prepares us to accept for ourselves a similar indebtedness to secular enterprise; for the Bible nowhere teaches that the godly should have all the gifts."
