- Adam and his wife Eve had a sexual relationship (this is obvious if you accept that we are their posterity).
- Eve conceived and gave birth to a son, named Cain.
- Either Eve delivered Cain outside of Adam's presence, in which case she told Adam about it by saying, "I have gotten a man from the LORD," or she said this to someone else (perhaps previous, unnamed children), or she was emphasizing to Adam that children are gifts from God.
- It's interesting that Eve referred to a newborn male child as a "man". Perhaps, their language was not well-developed yet.
- This is the first use of the title, "LORD" by itself. In the first three chapters of Genesis it is always used as a part of "LORD God." They each seem to refer to the same being.

Genesis 4:1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
