Subject: Where did Cains wife come from |
Bible Note: Thank you for your efforts, Makarios, but I still do not understand how one could know how to do something without first having instructions. It sounds to me like Able brought the best of his labors and Cain brought from his. We do not know if it was the best of his crops or not. If Cain was a tiller of the soil, where was he going to get an animal to offer to God? He would have had to get it from Able and what kind of sacrifice would that be? This makes believing in this very difficult. There are so many questions from just the first few pages! Since you are being kind enough to try to explain this, could you please also look into why 2 Kings 19 is an exact copy of Isaiah 37? Thank you, |
