In Genesis, it is worth noting that Cain, having slain Abel, is cast out to the land of Nod where he takes a wife of a tribe of people not created by Yahweh.
|
Amplified Bible:
Quote:
16So Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod [wandering], east of Eden.
17And Cain's wife [one of Adam's offspring] became pregnant and bore Enoch; and Cain built a [6] city and named it after his son Enoch.

Moses sees the burning bush, and asks what God it actually is, because there are a bunch of them
|
Amplified Bible:
Quote:
3And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.
4And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.
5God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
6Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

NIV:
Quote:
3 So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn up."
4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
And Moses said, "Here I am."
5 "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." 6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

No where does Moses ask which God it is.
