If Adam and Even had 2 sons, who did they marry??

Question

If you believe the Bible word for word, then how do explain my ????

So I guess this means we are all products of incense?? That is just sick. However I don';t literally believe the Bible, I hardly even believe in the bible itself.

Answer 1

Since Adam lived several hundred years, having lots of children was not a problem. The Genesis account does not tell us about the order of the births nor does it tell us how old they were. By having many children it is certainly possible that there were many women around. This would mean that Cain married either a sister or a niece or some other relation. Of course at this point, the question of inbreeding is raised. But it is not a problem early on in the human race because the genetic line was so pure. Therefore, the prohibition against incest was not proclaimed until much much later (Lev. 18:6-18).

Answer 2

Often, apparent inconsistencies can be resolved if we just look at the context. Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?

Where did Cain get his wife? Is there a logical Bible answer?

Yes, there is. It is pointed to in the very instructions given to Adam and Eve shortly after their creation, namely: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it.”—Gen. 1:28.

Obedience to this command would require that Adam and Eve have children. Then these children, in turn, would marry and bear children. This process of reproduction by succeeding generations would need to continue in order to fill the earth in harmony with God’s purpose.


The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces.

At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.

It is probable that, while yet alive, Abel had sisters; the record mentions the birth of daughters to his parents, but their names are not recorded. (Ge 5:1-4)

Cain went into banishment in “the land of Fugitiveness to the east of Eden,” taking with him his wife, an anonymous daughter of Adam and Eve. (Ge 4:16, 17; compare 5:4, also the much later example of Abraham’s marriage to his half sister Sarah, Ge 20:12.)

Answer 3

First of all, Adam and Eve had multiple children, of which Cain and Able were the first. After Cain slew Able, they had a third son named Seth- Genesis 4:25. Genesis 5:4 says that after he(Adam) had begotten Seth, was 800 years and he(Adam) begat sons and daughters. That is, Adam and Eve's other children after Seth. The beginning of Seth's children starts in Genesis 5:6 with his first child whom he named Enos.
That was the prime reason why men lived for many years at the beginning of mankind, to populate the earth. Over the centuries, God shortened the life span of humans as the earth became more populated. In Genesis 6:3 God decided to shorten mans years to 120 years. It didn't happen all at once, but after the flood in Noah's time, men began to live shorter lengths of time.
Psalms 90:10 (approximately 3-4000 years after Noah and the flood), says mans days were shortened to threescore and ten(70 years). So, intermarriage was the method in the beginning. It was not incest as what is considered incest today. It was Gods plan that was perfect. And yes Cain did marry a woman from the same parents as himself, but as someone else mentioned, there wasn't a time line mentioned when the marriage took place, only that he married and had children.

Answer 4

The Bible only talked about the 2 sons but they also had some daughters. The sons married their sisters. I think that might be in the Bible.

Answer 5

Greetings,
Obviously they married their sisters and had incestuous relations with them. The Church or the official organ of religion glosses over or completely diregards this from their teachings as we are later instructed by God not to indulge in this type of activity. But the leaders of the churches feel that we being of the laity are not able to accept that they married and had sexual relations with their sisters.

Answer 6

I agree with thegreatwhitehype. He's right on. It would be in your best interest to remember this point and to pass the word.

Answer 7

Adam knew the process of making girls, the way he made Eve from his ribs.
He made two more for his sons.
