The First Book of Adam and Eve. Part 9 Chapter LXXIV 4 - 8 The birth of Cain and Luluwa. Why they received those names.
But when Adam saw the distress in which Eve was, he got up and prayed to God, and said, "O Lord, look at me with the eye of Your mercy, and bring her out of her distress." And God looked at His maid-servant Eve, and delivered her, and she gave birth to her first-born son, and with him a daughter. Then Adam rejoiced at Eve's deliverance, and also over the children she had borne him. And Adam ministered to Eve in the cave, until the end of eight days; when they named the son Cain, and the daughter Luluwa. The meaning of Cain is " hater," because he hated his sister in their mother's womb; before they came out of it. Therefore Adam named him Cain. But Luluwa means "beautiful," because she was more beautiful than her mother.
