Cain was said to be exiled "to the land wandering". Early translations instead stated that he departed "to the land of Nod", which is generally considered a mistranslation of the Hebrew word Nod, meaning wandering. Hope this helps.
According to the Bible, the land of Nod is mentioned in the story of Cain in the Book of Genesis as the place where he settled after he was banished for murdering his brother, Abel. It is described as being "east of Eden." So, to answer your question, the land west of Nod would be closer to the location of Eden.
We are not sure where the land of "Nod" was located, except we are told that it was on the east of Eden (Genesis 4:16). It all depends on where the Garden of Eden was located as there is some dispute on that. Many scholars believe the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in the Tigris-Euphrates country above the Persian Gulf. If so "Nod would have been east of there. Sodom on the other hand is believed to be at the southern end of the Dead Sea and now covered by water. By looking at a map the two places "Nod" and "Sodom" are approximately 1000 miles apart.
The Land of Nod (Hebrew: 'eretz-Nod‎) is a place in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "to the east of Eden", to which Cain chose to flee after murdering his brother Abel. The Hebrew word nod means "wandering"."And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden." (Genesis 4:16, King James Version) "Nod" (נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander" (לנדוד) and is possibly an etymological etiology intended to explain the peripatetic lifestyle of Cain and his descendants, the Cainites. One interpretation of Genesis 4:16 is that Cain was cursed to wander the land forever, not that he was exiled to a "Land of Wanderers", otherwise absent from the Old Testament.
No. Adam and Eve were the first humans that existed and they lived in the garden of eden until they sinned.-------------------------------------------------- Actually the bible says that after Caan killed Abel he was banished to the land of Nod where he took a wife who bore him a son he named Enoch. The bible gives very little information on the people who lived in Nod, but it is not unreasonable to assume that it was home to some kind of unrelated nomadic tribe who somehow lived outside of the Garden during Adam and Eves life time. For some reason people typically assume that the bible clearly states that Adam and Eve were the first people on earth and all of us are directly descended from them. However this could not possibly be the case considering the bible also states that Caans son Enoch is the child of a woman from Nod. I would love to see a reasonable explanation of this from a biblical scholar, but have yet to find any rationalization of the discrepancy. One of the main reasons this question perplexes most people is because they do not actually read the words of the text and assume that Cain found his wife in the land of Nod. But read the text again! "And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch." (Genesis 4:16-17). The Bible doesn't say that Cain found his wife in Nod. It says that he went to Nod and then "knew" his wife. . The word 'knew', means that Cain had sexual relations with his wife, who he could have been already married to when he left for Nod. (The word 'knew' is only used in some translations. The New American Standard Bible says "And Cain had relations with his wife...") So... Where did Cain get his wife? The Bible does tell us "after Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years," and it also tells us that "he had other sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4 ). In fact, the genealogy in Genesis 5 records that every descendant of Adam down to Lamech had "other sons and daughters," some born to men who were on the wrong side of 180 years. People up to this point in Biblical history had very long life spans thereby substantially increasing their childbearing years, which means there could have been a out-and-out population explosion in a relatively short period of time. If Eve's childbearing years were about 500 and they had their first child at about the age of 50 and another child every five years, it is not outside the realm of possibility that he had sisters from whom he picked a wife even before he left. However had he waited to marry until he was about 200 years old, he probably had more than a few women to choose from, some of whom could have left for Nod before he did. In fact the world's population could have approached a few billion by the time of Adam's death at the age of approximately 900, and at least 120,000 people could have been alive on earth within only a few hundred years. The math is simple....

Cain was driven out to live in the land of Nod.

The land of Nod is where Cain was exiled after he killed Abel. The Bible does not say where the son went by name, it just states "to a distant land".

Nod was on the east of Eden. Its location depends on the location of Eden. The inhabitants of Bussorah and Bushire claim that the land of Nod lay between these two cities on the Northeast of the Persian Gulf. No one knows for certain.
