What is the name of the son of Cain born in the Land of Nod, after whom Cain named a city?
"Enoch (son of Cain) According to the Book of Genesis, Enoch (; ; ""Ḥanōḵ"") was a son of Cain, and father of Irad. After Cain arrived in the Land of Nod, to which he was evicted by the Lord as his punishment for murdering his brother Abel, his wife became pregnant and bore Cain's first child, whom he named Enoch. This Enoch is not to be confused with Enoch, son of Jared, to whom the authorship of the Book of Enoch is ascribed. After the birth of Enoch, the Hebrew text of Genesis 4:17 is unclear.

The Bible also makes reference to someone named Cush who is a Benjamite (Psalms 7:1, KJV).

The Bible states that he was ""a mighty hunter before the Lord [and] ... began to be mighty in the earth"".

When Lamech named his son Noah, he prophesied: ""This ""[same]"" shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the hath cursed.""

In Genesis 12:1, after Abram and his father Terah have left Ur Kaśdim for the city of Haran (probably Harran), God instructs Abram to leave his native land (Hebrew ""moledet""). The traditional Jewish understanding of the word ""moledet"" is ""birthplace"" (e.g. in the Judaica Press translation).

This can be seen with Jubilees 4 which narrates that Cain settled down and married his sister Awan, who bore his first son, the first Enoch, approximately 196 years after the creation of Adam. Cain then establishes the first city, naming it after his son, builds a house, and lives there until it collapses on him, killing him.
