The one consists of those who accept what God has prepared for them. The others—the free humanity—are those who till the soil and labour to win living products out of what is lifeless. Those who regard themselves as Sons of Cain are they who understand the Temple Legend and wish to live by it. Out of the race of Cain spring all those who are the creators of the arts and sciences of mankind: Tubal-Cain who is the first true architect and the God of smithies and working tools; and also Hiram-Abiff, or Adonhiram, who is the hero of the Temple Legend. This Hiram is sent for by King Solomon, famous for his wisdom, who belongs to the race of Abel, those who receive their wisdom from God. Thus this contrast appears once more at the court of Solomon—Solomon the wise, and Hiram the independent worker, who has achieved his wisdom through human striving.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Als solche Kainssöhne sehen sich diejenigen an, die diese Tempellegende verstehen und im Sinne dieser Legende leben wollen. Vom Geschlechte Kains stammen alle ab, welche die eigentlichen menschlichen Künste und Wissenschaften geschaffen haben: Tubal-Kain, der eigentliche ursprüngliche Baumeister und Gott der Schmiede und Werkzeuge; und auch jener Hiram-Abiff oder Adonhiram, der Held der Tempellegende. Dieser Hiram wird berufen durch König Salomo, der durch seine Weisheit berühmt ist, also zum Geschlecht der Abelkinder gehört, die ihre Weisheit als Gabe von Gott eingeflößt bekommen haben.
