What mark did God give Cain on his forehead ?

[Apple Sky]

Was it a horn ?

From the book 'Legend of the Jews'

The end of Cain overtook him in the seventh generation of men, and it was inflicted upon him by the hand of his great-grandson Lamech. This Lamech was blind, and when he went a-hunting, he was led by his young son, who would apprise his father when game came in sight, and Lamech would then shoot at it with his bow and arrow. Once upon a time he and his son went on the chase, and the lad discerned something horned in the distance. He naturally took it to be a beast of one kind or another, and he told the blind Lamech to let his arrow fly. The aim was good, and the quarry dropped to the ground. When they came close to the victim, the lad exclaimed: "Father, thou hast killed something that resembles a human being in all respects, except it carries a horn on its forehead!" Lamech knew at once what had happened--he had killed his ancestor Cain, who had been marked by God with a horn

Nah it was probably a NASA “blue meatball.”

Since everyone knows the Red Worm logo looks infinitely cooler.

I personally always get a vision of him being struck in the forehead by lightning and a symbol showing up. lol

I don't really think he got a horn since those represent strength, power, and authority.

But I bet whatever it was... it wasn't pretty.

Looked like a cow brand I bet. lol.......

It's not possible to know what the author(s) of Genesis had in mind when they mentioned a mark. They didn't tell us.
