Cain killed Able
God marked Cain so no one would kill him
And he left and took a wife.
You read that much (sorta) .
Why did you start in the middle of Gen and not at the beginning?
Last part of GEN 1
On the 6th day (6 comes before 7 or 8)
God made MAN
GEN 2
On the 7th day (day after 6)
God Rested
After his rest the 8th day (long after 6)
God creates Adam or in the original text THE Adam
Now if 1 day to God is 1000 years to man then the RACES (remember the 6th day creation) were running around for over 2000 years before THE Adam is created.
Questions?????

Keep in mind that the Bible says that Adam lived for something over 800 years ( forget the exact number), and we don't know how many years passed away between when Adam and Eve started having kids and when Cain murdered his brother, but I suspect it was enough years to have a pretty good population scattered around a bit.
FYI - Cain wasn't kicked out of Eden, Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden long before Cain was around.
Best wishes.

Yeah, you missed alot of pages.
The mark on Cain was so he WOULDN'T be killed.
It doesn't say he found his wife in Nod, it says that's where they had their first child. He probably brought her with.
And they weren't the only people in the earth. Cain just happened to be the firstborn. Adam and Eve had many other sons & daughters.
Folks lived an average of 911 years before the flood, there were probably some pretty established cities by the time Cain and his wife moved to Nod and had a kid.

Read Gen 1&2 again.... God made mankind , man AND woman on the sixth day and gave them the earth to hunt and fish,...then He rested and then you see that God made a certian man named Adam to till the earth and put him in the garden;...then God made a special woman for Adam. Those outside the garden ,were those that God gave to fish and hunt and in the land of Nod . This is where Cain went to and there he found his wife...from the sixth day creation of peoples. The "mark" that God gave Cain was that the earth wouldn't bring forth foods for Cain,...meaning Cain wouldn't be able to til the earth as Adam and his family did.

I'm guessing that this happened many years after Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden. Remember that they lived to be over 900 and they had LOTS of children!
I would say that brothers married sisters at first. If you look later in Genesis, there was intermarriage. I'm pretty sure God allowed for that!

All the people were very fertile then. In the firs hundred years there could have been lots of babies.

The mark was so that others wouldn't kill him. You gotta wonder who those 'others' were, and how they would know what the mark meant.
