Genesis 4:16
Douay-Rheims
And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.
Athanasius of Alexandria
By means of righteousness we come into God's presence, as Moses did when he entered the thick cloud where God was. On the other hand, by the practice of evil a person leaves the presence of the Lord. For example, Cain, when he killed his brother, left the Lord's presence as far as his will was concerned.
