Where Did Cain's 'wife' Emanate From? by ultiandroid: 10:28pm On Aug 09, 2014
Without any human beings other than Adam, Eve, Cain,
and Abel being mentioned, Genesis 4:17 states, “Cain
knew his wife, and she conceived…”

If, at that time, Adam and Eve had only given birth to two
sons - Cain and Abel - and Cain had killed Abel, where did
Cain's 'wife' emanate from?

The bible says "Cain knew his wife" it didn't say Cain married a wife, that is to tell you that he has a wife before he was driven away. Gen 5:4 "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.”. Cain probably took one of his sister or Seth's daughter. Remember he is already 130 when he killed Abel, many people had already been born on earth at that time.

thanks for your contribution. but why should it boil down to probability and not clearly stated in the holy book, so also, Cain knew his WIFE* and that's all that matters

No book can contain everything that happened that time. Being God's image we are supposed to be able to put 2 and 2 together to get four.

Do you believe the account of how Adam got Eve his wife. This is the logic: if you believe the account, then you can also believe cain could have got his wife by any means.

So how is it possible that cain knew his wife from thin air? how is it possible that some people emanated from nowhere all of a sudden from the east and wanted to kill cain? something is really missing here and this your excuse or reason isnt justifiable.

There is something many like you are missing about Bible.
You expect God to act like a professor of botany who want to inform a cave man about plant in the same language of instruction he uses for his postdoctoral audience.? Common!

I know. No need for money or employment, so all they did was bang. But was there a sister?
Re: Where Did Cain's 'wife' Emanate From? by OJODEL10(m): 8:07am On Aug 12, 2014
before we can make any conclusion about cain's wife, lets read the bible it self. gen 1 v 27 to 28 so god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him: male and female created he them. and god blessed then, and god said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and ....
if u read carefully you wil discovered the word 'them' who are the peopje that are to multiply just adam never he (god) may have created other human both woman and man.

Re: Where Did Cain's 'wife' Emanate From? by Nobody: 8:25am On Aug 12, 2014
Contrary to what the bible says,cain and abel weren't the only children of mr adam,they had close to 20something children which in turn repopulated the first generation meaning incest was involved for repopulation and nothing like rule,culture,norms against incest at the time. I done make research and note this all yall Christians *The bible is actually a timeline of past history and events passed down generation to generation and lost some validation before it was written and other version tends to add or subtract,the bible isn't a tool to be reckon with divinely,most pastors doesn't even know this but make your research and outsmart your pastor on this one.

What are you saying

You claimed that God created Adam and eve as first humans..Then adam and eve gave birth to cain and abel..Cain got jealous and killed abel. Leaving only Cain, adam and eve..So where did cain get a wife to marry from? WHere did the people that wanted to kill cain come from all of a sudden? Why did they even have the intention of killing cain when they have never even had an encounter with cain? You guys keep on contradicting yourselves thats why so many false prophets and men of God abound in the land.

Cain begot Enoch in gen 4:17 and Jared begot Enoch in gen 5:19.

Enoch had two fathers?

Like I said, if God should explain those details to even you so called modern man, your tiny brain will go "gaga" and then explode, let alone near cave man like Moses the writer of Genesis.
