Bible Question: where in bible can i find the name lilith, and who is she and what connection to adam is she /also where did cain get his wife |
Bible Answer: Hi lola, The name Lilith has not come up on a search in the Scriptures. Where did you get the name? The Lord told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and mutliply. At the time there where no laws given for marrying ones sister. The commandment was to be fruitful and multiply. Adam lived 800 years after he had Seth. (Gen 5:4) And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: Not only after the birth of Seth, but before, though we have no account of any, unless of Cain's wife; but what their number was is not certain, either before or after; some say he had thirty children, besides Cain, Abel, and Seth; and others a hundred. Josephus says the number of children, according to the old tradition, was thirty three sons and twenty three daughters. (These families had at least five children, for one son is named as well as other sons and daughters. Therefore there must be at least three sons and two daughters in each family. For a family to have at least three sons and two daughters, according to the laws of chance, a family must on the average have nine children for this to be a near certainty. Hence the families listed in this chapter must have been large by today's standards. Given their long life, this is not at all unusual. However even today, the Old Order Mennonites of Waterloo County in Ontario and Lancaster County in Pennsylvannia, have many families this large.)
