Q: What happened to the souls of Cain and his descendants? Do they still live?

Q: Shalom Rabbi, I would like to know: What happened to the souls of Cain and his descendants? Do they still live? What about the promise of revenge G-d gave to Cain? Did this pledge also extend to his descendants? Was it canceled after the flood? Cordially

A: The fate of souls is known to G-d only. However, the masters of the Kaballah have provided us with some information, according to which the souls of Cain and his descendants participate in human life.
