Cross-References
The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help."
As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.
Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat of it. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,
but he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.
Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
For resentment kills the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple.
"Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
thus says Yahweh, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away,.... Until the day of grace breaks on every elect sinner, and the shadows of darkness, ignorance, and unbelief, are in a great measure fled and gone; or until the everlasting day breaks, and there will be no more night, nor any darkness of affliction, nor any more desertion, doubts, and fears; see Song of Solomon 2:17. They are the words of Christ, declaring whither he would go till that time came, as follows:
I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense: the allusion may be to the mountains and hills where these odoriferous plants grew. It is said of Pompey the great, that when he passed over Lebanon (later mentioned, Song of Solomon 4:8) and by Damascus, he went through sweet smelling groves and woods of frankincense and balsam s; and Lebanon is thought, by some t, to have its name from the frankincense that grew upon it; though rather from the whiteness of the snow continually on it. By this "mountain" and "hill" may be meant the church of Christ, gathered together in Gospel order, so called for its visibility and immovableness, Isaiah 2:2; and for the trees of righteousness which are planted and flourish there, the saints; and for the fragrancy of their graces; and for the sweet smelling odour of their sacrifices of prayer and praise; and because of the delight and pleasure Christ takes in his people, and they in him here; where they have mutual communion, so that it is to them both a mountain of myrrh and a hill of frankincense: particularly, here Christ delights to be, and here he resolves to dwell until his second coming.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Song of Solomon 4:6. Until the day break — Until the morning breeze. See Song of Solomon 2:17.
The shadows flee away — Till the sun sets.
Mountain of myrrh — Probably the same as the mountains of Bether, Song of Solomon 2:17. Mountains where the trees grew from which myrrh and incense were extracted.
