Cain – the firstborn child after eating from the tree of knowledge, the first one to be named after the verb “Kaniti” קניתי in Hebrew, which means “I bought”.

The sentence that his mother Eve said when he was born was – “Kaniti Ish Et Hashem”, which means, “I bought a man from the Lord”, or “I have the asset/essence of the lord in my hand”.

What does it mean?

In Hebrew, a man is called “Ish” איש Aleph, Yod, Shin. The root letters are – Aleph, Shin. In Hebrew Aleph Shin אש create a word which means fire. When Eve said: “Kaniti Ish et Hashem”, she means: “I bought a fire from the Lord”.

By giving Cain his name, Eve also gives him his destination, he will become “Oved Adama” a person who cultivates the land, he will develop tools that shall assist him with his work, and also he will develop envy for his twin brother, Abel.

The envy is also rooted in his name how? The verb Kana (bought) in Hebrew, is written the following letters: Kof, Nun, Heh, while the verb Kineh קנא (envy) is written in Hebrew by the letters Kof, Nun, Aleph.

When someone feels something belongs to him he feels he does not want to share it. Cain feels that the land belongs to him and does not want to share it with his brother, and kills him. The root to envy in Hebrew is written
Kof, Nun, Aleph in Gematria 100-50-1 The Aleph at the end of the verb announced there is only One, (and it does not refer to Cain).
