Summary: The land of Nod was presumably located along the southwestern banks of the Euphrates river. It was in this area that Cain settled in and established the first city of Sumer, after being exiled from Eden by his father, Adam (B:4:23-25). The land of Nod was located south of the land of Ur (B:6:15).
Notes/References:
