Covenant Structure in Genesis 4 – Part 2

Analysis of the careful literary arrangement of Genesis 4 reveals the link between Cain’s tribute, Baal worship, and modern secular humanism.


In part 1, we analyzed the triune architectural theoscape of Genesis 4, a passage that is comprised of three concentric levels. However, if we observe the line-by-line literary structure, we can see that it also consists of three major linear cycles. The achievement of such a structure in literature is unparalleled outside of holy Scripture, and is only possible through a meticulous adherence to the symbolism of sacred architecture and the order of sacrifice as sequential types of God’s work in Genesis 1.
