Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Kejadian 4:12

the wanderer The term [לנדד] derives from נע ונד, “a wanderer and an exile” (Gen. 4:14).

וישבתם לבטח בארצכם, “and you will live in your land feeling secure.” Previously, in 25,18, this has been worded slightly differently, when the Torah wrote: וישבתם על הארץ לבטח, “you will dwell on the land in security.” Here the Torah stresses the fact that G’d will consider the land as your land. However, during a famine, people will be exiled as it says: לא תוסף תת כחה לך. נע ונד תהיה בארץ, “the land will not continue to give you from its strength; you will be a nomad on earth wandering from place to place.” (Genesis 4,12) Or, as we find in Job 15,23: ?נודד הוא ללחם איה, “he wanders searching for bread, where is he?”

you shall dwell in security for in times of famine, people wander from their homes (compare, “it will not henceforth yield its produce for you; a fugitive and a wanderer will you be” [Genesis 4:12]).

וינעם means, AND HE MOVED THEM ABOUT; the word is of the same root as נע in (Genesis 4:12) “a wanderer (נע) and a vagabond”.
