Bible Note: I'm sorry that you feel that no one cares about where Cain's wife came from, since it is part of the Bible, God's inspirate Word, and also it gives us an idea of where we came from and how we are all related in some way or another. The Bible clearly states that when Cain was driven from the land and from the presence of God he said that he would be a restless wanderer and that whoever found him would kill him. (Gen 4:14) That lets me know that there was more people on earth besides Adam, Eve, Abel and Cain. In Genesis 5:2 you can see that it states that when Adam had lived 130 years, he had son in his own likeness which was Seth. In v.4 it states that after Seth was born Adam lived 800 more years in which he had OTHER sons and daughters, a total of 930 years that Adam had lived that's a long time for the world to be populated. The NIV Study Bible comments that Cain must have married one of his sisters, etc. Such a relationship was necessary in the beginning when God said in Genesis 1:28 to be fruitful and multiply. Later, because the results of the fall increased and interfamily marriages multiplied the biological weakness in the children, this type of marriage was forbidden (Leviticus 18:6,9) Now the Dake KJV comments that when Adam was on earth populaton rapidly increase so that there could have been approximately 500,000 people by this time. Thats why in Genesis 4:17 it states that after Cain knew his wife he built a city and to build it requires many people. So every son od man had sons and daughters and stared branches of the human race. (Genesis 4:15-24; 5:1-32; 6:1-2) I'm sorry but everything that the Bible said is important and we should care about what it said. |
