Cain: Allegory and Mercy - Reading Genesis 4 with Cindy Beaver - Episode 033

Special guest Cindy Beaver joins me for a public reading of Scripture where we begin reading Genesis 4 from two translations:  The English Standard Version (ESV) and the Lexham English Septuagint (LES).  We talk about the ancient Near East, sacrifices and offerings as shared meals (yep, that likely means that they weren't vegetarians!), Mesopotamian demons residing in doorways, allegories, and come across some interesting thoughts as to why Cain didn't receive the death penalty for the murder of his brother. This episode is packed full of good stuff and we hope you enjoy it!NEW!  If you want to sign up to receive my newsletter, enter your email address at my new site below!**New website is here!!! www.genesismarksthespot.comMy Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpotGenesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespotGenesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/Music credit: "Marble Machine" by WintergatanLink to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan
