Footnotes
Kinnor is the lyre or harp — the instrument of David and the Levitical worship — here attributed to the Cainite line. Ugav is a wind instrument, likely a reed pipe or flute. The text ascribes pastoral culture, music, and metalworking to Cain's descendants without overt condemnation, holding in tension the reality that human creativity can emerge from the line of exile while still bearing the marks of its origin.
