Conceived in the Garden: A Narrative-Linguistic Analysis of Genesis 3:6-7, 3:24 and 4:1

This report is meant to illustrate the application of an AI-based tool, SceneAnalyzer, intended to  to examine the timing of Qayin’s conception in Genesis II.  Drawing from the linguistic frameworks of Longacre (1989), Niccacci (1990), and others, SceneAnalyzer defines a scene as a series of two or more consecutive wayyiqtol clauses—a hallmark of sequential, plot-advancing Hebrew narrative. A mini-scene consists of a single wayyiqtol clause bracketed by non-narrative forms (e.g., qatal, yiqtol, or weqatal), often signaling background, contrast, or dialogue.
