Bible Question:
if adam and eve, cain abel are the first family why are their people in the land of Nod and how did they get there. cain was sent to that land correct?????? and did marry??????? |
Bible Answer: I will not attempt to post them all now. But there are many passages like this. Moses is not saying that it was called Nod when Cain dwelt there. Cain called his city Enoch not Nod. Genesis 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. But so that the readers of Moses which were much much later than the days of Enoch could get a handle on the geography Moses was speaking about he mentions that this City Cain built was in the area that then in Moses time was called Nod. Cain took a wife, maybe even by force, we don't know, from the camp of Adam, after many centuries Cain populated a large settlement of people through close relationships at first of course. Then as time went on the gene pool gets diversivied. |
