When Cain was banished to the land of Nod, he feared that he would be attacked and killed for having murdered his brother.
The stories of Adam and Eve, and of Cain and Abel, should not be thought of as originally a single, coherent narrative, but as a conflation of several, generally unrelated myths. Of course, a simplistic reading of Genesis as a coherent narrative raises the problem that Cain could not have built a city because there was no one to help him build the city nor to inhabit it. Similarly, because there was no one else in the world other than his own father and mother, there was no one who could have attacked Cain, and for whom God put a sign on Cain. But, when it is viewed as an entirely separate tradition from the earlier story of Adam and Eve, we can allow that the world was already well populated.

Why did Cain have a mark put on his forehead after he killed Abel?
A:There is a minor fault in the story of Cain, but one that probably went unnoticed when it was being passed on orally, before finally being written down early in the first millennium BCE. Although Adam, Eve and Cain were the only people on earth, and although Cain had no logical reason to believe he would ever meet anyone else in the world, he nevertheless feared that he would be persecuted for what he had done to Abel. God placed a mark on Cain so that anyone finding him would somehow know that he was under God's protection (Genesis 4:15).
