I don't know if I "agree" with the overall interpretation, but it makes a good pile o' sense. One quibble: > ... this may make Cim Glowing Awan (Hebrew for "wickedness") -- > the woman who, according to Biblical tradition, is not only > Cain's sister, but his wife. While I have no doubt that such a tradition exists, I can find no trace of it, and it certainly isn't "Biblical" as I understand the word -- full-text searches on both a King James and an NIV produced no trace of this. In fact, it's actually kind of a classic "stump the Bible expert" question to ask where Cain's wife came from, since the Bible doesn't say anything about it. I wonder if maybe this is a tradition from Kaballah or Talmud? --Blattid --
