NOD.According to Gen_4:16, the country in which Cain the fratricide took up his abode after his sentence of banishment. The place is unknown. It is probably connected in some way etymologically with the epithet nâd of v. 14 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] wanderer). The addition eastward of Eden is of little help for its location.

Nod. (flight). The land to which Cain fled, after the murder of Abel. See Cain.

LAND OF, the country to which Cain withdrew after the murder of Abel. As the precise situation of this country cannot possibly be known, so it has given rise to much ingenious speculation. All that we are told of it is, that it was on the east of Eden, or, as it may be rendered, before Eden; which very country of Eden is no sure guide for us, as the situation of that also is disputed. But, be it on the higher or lower Euphrates, (see Eden,) the land of Nod which stood before it with respect to the place where Moses wrote, may still preserve the curse of barrenness passed on it for Cain's sake, namely, in the deserts of Syria or Arabia. The Chaldee interpreters render the word Nod, not as the proper name of a country, but as an appellative applied to Cain himself, signifying a vagabond or fugitive, and read, He dwelt a fugitive in the land. But the Hebrew reads expressly, He dwelt in the land of Nod.

nod (נוד, nōdh): The land of Eden, to which Cain migrated after the murder of his brother and his banishment by Yahweh (Gen_4:16). Conjecture is useless as to the region intended. The ideas of China, India, etc., which some have entertained, are groundless. The territory was evidently at some distance, but where is now undiscoverable.

PRINTER 1915.
Nod, the land to which Cain withdrew, and in which he appears to have settled (Gen_4:16). While the site of paradise itself remains undetermined, it is useless to seek for that of the land of Nod. This land, wherever it was, could not have had a name till Cain went to it; and it was doubtless called Nod (which signifies flight, wandering), from the circumstance that Cain fled to it.

Nod
(Heb. id. נוֹד, flight [see below]; Sept. Ναϊvδ), the land east of Eden to which Cain fled after the murder of his brother (Gen_4:16). The name is plainly akin with the verb nud, נוּד, to flee; and means simply the land of exile or flight. It were, therefore, fruitless to seek for a country of this name in Asia, and its position must depend entirely upon that of Eden, which is uncertain. Von Bohlen, however, would follow an intimation of Michaelis. and understand it as a name of India (Genesis p. 59). (Calmet, s.v.; Schmidt, Bibl. Geograph. p. 42,447; Rosenmuler, Alterthum. I, 1:215 sq.; Tuch, Genesis p. 111.) SEE CAIN.
