At the very end of Genesis 4 (verse 26) - there is a very interesting note:
"At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord." (NRSV) The NLT puts is "people began to worship the Lord by name." This seems to say that before then - people were not using God's name...
So this makes me wonder - if the people are just now getting around to using the Lord's name - what did Adam call God when they would walk together in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:8)? What did Abel call God when he sacrificed the fat of his animals (Gen 4:4)? Just wondering...
