Adam and Eve most likely had many children between the time Cain and Abel were born (Gen. 4:1-2) and the time they were men (Gen. 4:8). Cain and Abel could have been 600 years old at this time that Cain killed Abel. Remember, Adam lived 930 years. Why do I say that? Because in Gen. 4:25 it says that Adam had relations with his wife "again" and they had Seth. You may have thought, Abel has been killed and the next child that is mentioned is Seth so that Seth must be their third child. The Bible doesn't say that Seth was their third child. This verse, Gen. 4:25, is interesting: the word for "again" means repeatedly, still more, times all life long. This would indicate that Adam and Eve continually were conceiving children during this time. NOTE: Seth lived 912 years. The Bible tells us that Adam and Eve were the first to be created. All other men and women were from them. Cain went out from his parents and did indeed marry a sister living away from them. (Remember, the fall of man had just begun and intermarriage among family was not forbidden.)Adam lived 930 years so he and Eve must have had a lot of children! Think about the multiplier on this. At minimum, 1 child every 2 years they would have had 465 children, possibly more. May God give you discernment as you search His Word. PJC |
