Cain's wife was a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve. - Genesis 4:17

johnydon22:

Genesis 4:17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave
birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after
his son Enoch.

where did you see daughter or grand daughter of adam... or you are just assuming?

kunletiwoo:


Facts may be extracted from assumptions. The fact that Cain was frightened for his own life after he killed Abel indicates that there were likely many other children and perhaps even grandchildren of Adam and Eve already living at that time.

johnydon22:


And oh the bible forgot to mention it... This is what you get when people try so hard to reconcile mythology as truth... Cain and abel were not even in the adam and eve story originally it was borrowed from the kenite people

Scholar8200:

The kenites were Cain's descendants but it is reasonable that their genealogy was common knowledge at that time, the whole earth was of one language( and had not dispersed)... before GOD scattered them Genesis 11:1,8.

Adam and Eve had other offsprings apart from Cain and Abel just as Metuselah, Enoch etc had other kids and not just the one mentioned in genealogical reckoning( which , in the OT ,never includes names of daughters). The focus on Seth is because right from the beginning God was working towards fulfilling the promise made in Genesis 3:15. just as Abraham had other kids too but the focus was on Isaac.Genesis 25:1-5.

Cy4praise:
I see from the scripture particularly the book of Genesis 4:17 that Cain was the father of Enoch. But my question is "who did Cain marry?

johnydon22:



I am saying that cain and abel were not originally added to the adam and eve mythology....
Cain and abel are kenite mythology borrowed by the Jewish scribe that wrote the adam and eve fable, and fictiously made cain and abel their children.

let me show you a snap shot of the New Community Bible (Catholic edition) explanation.

Scholar8200:
Those are footnotes, man's recent additions. It is no news that these footnotes are usually added( especially when the Version is originating from a sect/group) to reflect the beliefs of that group. If they claim that they ,"fictitiously' made Cain and Abel there children, I ask who then were their real parents? Bare in mind that this predated the great dispersion Genesis 11:9 hence there were no different tribes and all the people groups will trace their descent from their father; Kenites Adam- cain, Israelites: Adam-Seth etc to identify themselves.

shyna01:

who was the wife of Seth and Methuselah?

Cy4praise:


People had multiplied by then

shyna01:

Seth was Adam's son.
who did Seth marry? who where the people that multiplied?

Scholar8200:
Adam and Eve had other offsprings apart from Cain and Abel just as Metuselah, Enoch etc had other kids and not just the one mentioned in genealogical reckoning( which , in the OT ,never includes names of daughters). The focus on Seth is because right from the beginning God was working towards fulfilling the promise made in Genesis 3:15. just as Abraham had other kids too but the focus was on Isaac.Genesis 25:1-5.etc Just as Hannah had other kids apart from samuel whose names were not mentioned.
