 Apologetics Press - The Land of Nod
It is very likely that when Moses wrote the name “Nod” (Genesis 4:16), he was using a figure of speech called “prolepsis” (the assignment of something, such as an event or name, to a time that precedes it).
This is consistent with the meaning of the name Nod (“wandering”), which in all probability was given because God told Cain he was to be a wanderer upon the Earth (Genesis 4:12).
Thus, the land of Nod almost certainly was not an area filled with people whom Cain might eventually befriend.
