- The Lord himself created alienation towards humanity when he decided to favor Abels offering instead of Cains from which that sprouted alienation between humanity itself when Cain decided to kill Abel. That just being the beginning, God saw that Cain faced further punishment and that he shall be cursed. Cain in response said “Behold, fyou have driven me todayaway from the ground, and gfrom your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and awanderer on the earth, hand whoever finds me will kill me”. Further increasing the alienation between Humanity and God himself. In Genesis 6, God had realized that he regret the creation of man and sought to destroy everything off the planet. This further pushes the distance between man and God because the lord himself is going to get rid of them. In Genesis 8, the lord realizes that man will always have evil in his heart even from youth. In Genesis 9, the sons of Noah were ashamed to look at him while he lied naked in his tame which shows a progression of distinction between humans as when Adam and Eve were created they were not ashamed of their bodies. In Genesis 11, The lord realized that the people were one and all speaking the same language and he deliberately decided to confuse them so they would not be able to understand each other, which is a sign of alienation between god and humanity. Lastly, in Genesis 11, Humans progressively began to live fewer years as it began from 400 years of age to 100 years of age.
