Subject: Genesis 4:17 |
Bible Note: According to the Genesis account, all humankind descended from the first parents Adam and Eve, but it cannot be said that Cain's wife was necessarily his sister. There are other possibilities. A niece for instance. The point is that Scripture does not reveal her identity; therefore, we don't know who she was other than that she was a descendent of the first couple. Other than the fact that her husband was called Cain and that she bore a son called Enoch, we know nothing about this woman. --Hank |
