Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נוּד (nud), meaning "to wander" or "to flee."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word נוֹד (Nod), as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct equivalent in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "Nod" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific location where Cain settled after being exiled by God. It is mentioned once in the Old Testament. Context: • Nod is a geographical term found in Genesis 4:16, where it is described as the land to which Cain went after being cursed by God for the murder of his brother Abel. The name "Nod" is traditionally understood to mean "wandering" or "exile," reflecting Cain's punishment of becoming a fugitive and wanderer on the earth. The exact location of Nod is not specified in the biblical text, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, leading to various interpretations and speculations about its geographical and symbolic significance. Some scholars suggest that Nod may not refer to a specific place but rather symbolizes a state of perpetual wandering and alienation from settled society. In Genesis 4:16 (BSB), it is written: "So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden."
