Second Adam and Eve: Chapter XIV
Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears away another generation of men.
1.WHEN Enos was nine hundred years old, all the children of Seth, and of Cainan, and his first-born, with their wives and children, gathered around him, asking for a blessing from him.
2.He then prayed over them and blessed them, and adjured them by the blood of Abel the just saying to them, “Let not one of your children go down from this Holy Mountain, and let them make no fellowship with the children of Cain the murderer.”
FACSIMILE OF ACTUAL PAGE OF ORIGINAL GUTENBERG BIBLE.
The first successful printing was done in 1450 A.D. when Gutenberg printed the Old Testament in Latin. There are about 45 copies of the precious Gutenberg Bible in existence that have survived the chances of Europe and its wars for five hundred years.

3.Then Enos called his son Cainan and said to him, “See, O my son, and set thy heart on thy people, and establish them in righteousness, and in innocence; and stand ministering before the body of our father Adam, all the days of thy life.”
4.After this Enos entered into rest, aged nine hundred and eighty-five years; and Cainan wound him up, and laid him in the Cave of Treasures on the left of his father Adam; and made offerings for him, after the custom of his fathers.
Asked of Guide
Why does Enos forbid his children from mingling with Cain's descendants?
Enos forbids fellowship with Cain’s line because he adjures them “by the blood of Abel the just,” treating Abel’s murder as a living rupture in family and covenant. The chapter makes this rupture concrete: Enos blesses the families on the Holy Mountain and charges Cainan to keep their people “in righteousness, and in innocence.”
The instruction links moral purity to physical separation and to sacred memory; burial in the Cave of Treasures and offerings mark a distinct communal identity. This echoes themes in Genesis about lineage and priestly care, and it resonates with Jubilees, which also preserves ancestral boundaries and ritual stewardship.
