Yahweh is everywhere, so this probably means that after talking to Yahweh, Cain left that place. Alternate translation: [from Yahweh] or [from the place where Yahweh had been talking to him]

The original readers of the Hebrew text knew that the name Nod means “wandering.” Usually translators transliterate (copy or borrow) the name from the Hebrew text, and they might also include the meaning of the name in the text or in a footnote. If you do that here, the meaning should be similar to how you translated wanderer in verses 12 and 14.

Consider again how you translated “the land of Eden” and “the Garden of Eden” in the book of Genesis. See 2:8, 10, 15; 3:23–24; and 4:16. Alternate translation: [which was east of the land called Eden] or [which was east of Eden Land]
