Bible Question: My question deals with Genesis Ch 4:13-4:17. Did other people exist at the time of Cain murdering Abel? Based on scripture, Cain was worried about other people murdering him right after he murdered Abel. There was no mention of anyone else at this time. Is there other scripture that can prove this? Cain, also directly after leaving, layed with his wife. Is there a time gap in here or what? Please help! |
Bible Answer: Yes there was a time gap. This is not a diary of the first days of mankind this is more of an overview of key events. Yes Cain and Able had many other sibling perhaps even by this time Adam and Eve may have had grandkids or great grandkids, the bible doesn't say. Based on the inherency of scripture we will give the Word of God the benifit of doubt. Also brothers and sisters married at this time. There was no law of Moses yet. So there was no incest, since there was no such thing. We all are of one blood. In fact we are all one race-the human race.
