The Fruit of the Vine

Again, in opposition to modern anthropology, Genesis insists that the nomadic, tribal lifestyle does not occur until after the first murder.  Cain the Farmer is cursed for killing is brother, much like the ground that he works in.  Since he spilled his brother's blood on the ground, he may no longer farm fruit from it.  As a result, Cain becomes a wandering nomad, although he later built a city for his son.

Adam and Eve's other descendents, however, remain agrarian.  When Lamech's wife gives birth to a son he names him "Noah," which means "rest."  He prophesies that Noah will "comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed" (Genesis 1:29).  One of the ways he does this is by becoming a husbandman of a vineyard after the Flood.  The introduction of wine-making is one way that Noah redeems the fruit of the ground, as opposed to Cain's cursed wandering from it.
