Nope. My exogesis of Genesis is in harmony with orthodoxy. The worshippers of God began to distinguish themselves. The margin reads it, Then began men to be called by the name of the Lord, or to call themselves by it. Now that Cain and those that had deserted religion had built a city, and begun to declare for impiety and irreligion, and called themselves the sons of men, those that adhered to God began to declare for him and his worship, and called themselves the sons of God. Now began the distinction between professors and profane, which has been kept up ever since, and will be while the world stands.

Moses wrote in his vernacular. He was not saying that they used "JHVH" specifically.

Well, your “tradition” may lead you to believe their isogesis, but the Hebrew text uses the tetragrammaton as the Name in Gen. 4:26. So, unless your new and spurious hermeneutic can overthrow the Hebrew, your contentions are incorrect.
