2 | Where did Cain's wife come from? | Gen 5:4 | horsecd | 96270 | ||
Genesis 5:3-4 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Note, Adam and Eve "had other sons and daughters." It is never said that Abel is the second born and that Seth is the third born, but simply that Cain was older than Abel, and Seth was born around the time of Abel's death. So, quite simply, Cain married a sister of his. She went into exile with him, and they had children while in exile. Since mutations hadn't corrupted the genetic code yet, there was no reason why they couldn't marry. |
