Bible Question: Who was Cain's wife? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Before I speak, I have something to say. While the question has been asked before, I'll go ahead and answer it. The answer is both simple and obvious. Cain's wife was also his sister. Which would make his parents his own in-laws, as if parents aren't bad enough the first time around. Now they are the in-laws as well. His children would be his nieces and nephews, but that's a family matter. Can you imagine the reunions with that family? "Hello, Uncle daddy and Aunt Mommy. Where's Great uncle grandpa and Great Aunt Grandma?" Talk about relativity, Einstein had nothing on these folks. :) Now, to point out a few things, seriously. While only the males are mentioned in the Bible, logic dictates that there must have been sisters born and that those sisters eventually became the wives of the brothers. Something else, the law hadn't come about at this time, so it was permissible to marry your siblings. You had to. How else you to be fruitful and multiply with only one gender? Anyway, I hope this helps. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
