Where Did Cain Get His Wife From? by deri4luv1(m): 10:03am On Jun 05, 2016
One of the most often-asked questions about the Bible is that of Cain's wife. The Bible says that God created Adam and Eve, Eve conceived and gave birth to Cain and Abeg, and that after he killed his brother Abel, Cain married a wife.

In Genesis 4:16-17 it says,

"Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17And 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."

Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve had two sons: Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel and was exiled by God. Then in Genesis 4:17, we read that Cain had relations with his wife. Where did Cain get his wife?

Incest
Re: Where Did Cain Get His Wife From? by Paulpaulpaul(m): 10:21am On Jun 05, 2016
There little distortion to the historical account but it could be that there are other people or the angels had sex with his sisters and help prevent inbreeding


Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Where do you expect him to marry from if not from his siblings?

You can correctly termed it INCEST now because there are other people around you that are not from your direct family tree for you to marry.

Or, how do you expect the blessing of 'be fruitful and multiply take physical effect?

God gave him one of his sisters, so basically the bible supported incest initially. Someone should prove me wrong.

. It was not a problem early on in the human race because the genetic line was so pure. It was only after many generations after the Fall of man into sin that genetic abnormalities began to appear. Therefore, the prohibition against incest was not proclaimed until much later (Lev. 18:6-18) when inbreeding started to become a problem.

Gen 1:27-28..So God created man in his own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female created He them..

And God blessed them,God said unto them be FRUITFUL and MULTIPLY and REPLENISH the earth.

Before man was created God had the intention of procreation.The bible never made mention of Cain and Abel as Adam and Eve's first children.

Gen 4:1..And Adam knew his wife.Alot of years would have passed before this and even they might gotten other children..The bible never made mention.of where they settled after life at eden..People should do well to read the bible to get understanding not to find faultings.

Males and Females God created Nephilims in different places on earth. Cain, a product of Hebrew Nephilims wandered out of his tribe to fetch another tribe for a wife. Very simple: God made easy.
