Our hypothesis of a copying duplication error is not looking too good.

For example, there is much in the etymology and meaning of the names themselves, with this and other indications of the (im)moral and (un)Godly characters of these persons and their relationships with God. Then there are those perplexing long lifetimes, plus the possible meaning of specific lifespan numbers (365 = one year?), Lamech’s (Cain) taunts of do-it-myself violent power and God’s reply with the death of his line, Cain’s desire for protection vs grandson Lamech’s desire for confrontation, Noah’s Godliness and his favor and the continuation of his line, the Anglicization of names Kenan, Cainen and their correspondence with the English profession smith and name Smith, and the replacement of 2nd son Abel with 3rd son Seth and God’s habit of extending his favor to the second born rather than the first. There are many things going on in these two chapters we are ignoring.a b Byron 2011, p. 11: Anglea Y.

In the Qur'an, Abel and Cain are known as Hābīl and Qābīl respectively. The events of the story in the Qur'an are virtually the same as the Hebrew Bible narrative: Both the brothers were asked to offer up individual sacrifices to God; God accepted Abel's sacrifice and rejected Cain's; out of jealousy, Cain slew Abel – the first ever case of murder committed upon the Earth. In Islam, the story of Cain and Abel serves as an admonition against murder promoting sanctity of human life.We do know that using the Anglicized versions of Hebrew (or sometimes Akkadian rooted) words is not helpful, and only confuses our search for patterns in names. Better compare Hebrew with Hebrew. We also know that sometimes translators reject a better Anglicization of Greek or Hebrew because the reading audience is familiar with an older, traditional spelling and pronunciation. A Jewish audience might be happy with the rendering “Noach” while the Protestant middle American audience will only accept “Noah,” not matter what the Hebrew says. VTM: The Book of Nod - cross reference: "The Antediluvians", p. 130 and "The Tale of the First City", p. 46, 49; Note: Most of the Antediluvians are thought to be at least 10,000 years or old, dating their embracing c. 8,000 BCE. The first signs of a society occurred in Fertile Crecent c. 10,000 BCE, which could be dates the embracing of the second generation. Caine lives cursed alone for an "eon" before embracing his first childe. The word "eon" is subject to interpretation, as it could refer up to a billion years. Mitochondrial DNA and fossil evidence indicates that modern humans originated in North Africa about 300,000 years ago. Since Caine is the first child of the first human pair, and if "eon" is to be interpreted as a really long time, then Caine could very well be close to 300,000 years old. And Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field," and when they were in the field Cain rose against Abel his brother and killed him. [6] And the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother? And he said, "I do not know: am I my brother's keeper?" [7] And He said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the soil. And so, cursed shall you be by the soil that gaped with its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand. If you till the soil, it will no longer give you strength. A restless wanderer shall you be on the earth." And Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is too great to bear. Now that You have driven me this day from the soil I must hide from Your presence, I shall be a restless wanderer on the earth and whoever finds me will kill me." And the Lord said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain shall suffer sevenfold vengeance." And the Lord set a mark upon Cain so that whoever found him would not slay him.
