1 | Cain and Abel wives. Who are they? | Genesis | EdB | 239333 | ||
Yes someone had to have married a sister/brother. However by the time Cain left to find a wife there could have been thousands of people all from Adam and Eve on earth. |

2 | Cain and Abel wives. Who are they? | Genesis | danjg | 239345 | ||
Possibly, but reading the text, I get the impression it wasn't too long after he left the "presence of the Lord" that he took a wife! | ||||||
3 | Cain and Abel wives. Who are they? | Genesis | EdB | 239346 | ||
But since the genealogy given in Genesis doesn't mention women and it is a known Jewish tradition of not including women in the genealogy we don't know how many girls were born to Adam and Eve before Cain was ever born. Or how many were born after while he was growing up. Plus most theologians place the age of Cain at around 30 at the time he killed Abel. Again the experts (who claim to know such things) estimate there could have been as many as a hundred thousand people on earth by the time this event occurred. Yes they all would have been related but there is plenty of possibility for a wife for Cain. |
