Bible Question: Where did Cains wife come from |
Bible Answer: Edge, since you are new to the Study Bible Forum you may not be familiar with the Search feature found on the top left of the home page. Please type in "Cain" and you will be shown a number of postings that relate to your question. The short answer is that the Scriptures never tell us specifically who Cain married. We can infer that she was a descendent of Adam and Eve and thus a relative of Cain, possibly sister or niece. A warm welcome to the forum. --Hank |
