NASB | Genesis 4:17 ¶ Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 4:17 ¶ Cain knew his wife [one of Adam's descendants] and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch; and Cain built a city and named it Enoch, after the name of his son. |
Subject: don't see who his wife parents are |
Bible Note: With no other scripture passage to explicitly tell us, we cannot identify her parents. However, who ever her parents were, they must necessarily have been descendants of Adam and Eve. Perhaps this woman was even a sister of Cain. There is precedence for this in scripture: Sarah was the half-sister of Abraham. Due to degredation of the genetic pool, many generations later, Moses prohibitted inter-marriage by close relatives. |
