From the book of Adam and Eve;
ch 74, v7-8
The meaning of Cain is "hater," because he hated his sister in their mother's womb; ere they came out of it. Therefore did Adam name him Cain.
And Luluwa means "beautiful," because she was more beautiful than her mother.

later, from Ch 75, v11.
When the days of nursing the children was ended, Eve again conceived, and when her days were accomplished she brought forth antoher son and daughter; and they named the son Abel, and the daughter Aklia.

From the second book of Adam and Eve
Chapter1, verse 6
(Cain is at this time 15, Abel at the time of his death was 12)
As for Cain, when the mourning for his brother had ended, he took his sister Luluwa and married her, withoug leave from his father and mother; for they could not keep him from her, by reason of their heavy heart.

Chapter 2, verse 8 (after the birth of Seth)
As for Adam, he knew not again his wife Eve, all the days of his life; neither was any more offspring born of them; but only those five, Cain, Luluwa, Abel, Aklia, and Seth alone.

Given these verses, assuming a literal record from the cannonized bible in conjunction with this book, then Aklia would be Seth's wife.

Likely, neither is the bible the literal true history of early mankind, nor are the books of Adam and Eve true records of said historical events.

That said, the names Luluwa ("beautiful") and Aklemia/Aklia were created or inserted as the names of daughters of Eve, to explain where the wives of Cain and of Seth came from, in the literal world where the only humans were Adam and Eve. The books of Adam and Eve were likely written by early religious "editors" who were faced with the dilema of explaining where mankind came from if there were only Adam, Eve, and their sons.

Their place in "history" is only as fabrication in an effort to lend legitimacy to a flawed religious allegory.

One can freely delude one's self into believing and accepting anything that anyone might have written, said or put out for public consumption. However, the same does not mean that what has been said, written or offered has any validity or reliable, verifiable truth contained within it. This one hopes that you will be happy and safe in the comfort of your own dillusions within the frame work of your chosen mytholgoical fantasies. As long as you are not hurting or harming others, we can peacefully coexist. One might also ask, where did this rather odd story you are citing come from? Such might be another intersting humanly conceieved and created mythology or "fairy tale" to read. May it all be well with you (and your walls be soft, and the sleeves of your jacket, tied carefully behind your back, not come loose.)

I flatly disagree with the first poster [Worst Answer Ever (?)] that responded to the question. Yes, Luluwa and Aklia are the daughters of Adam & Eve, and they are referenced in the "Forgotten Books of Adam & Eve" according to the citations given but where I disagree with the poster is that their place in "history" is only a fabrication in an effort to lend legitimacy to a flawed religious allegory.

My question to the above referenced poster is how do you know if the books written are GOD-inspired or have any level of truth to them? Well...you know by whether or not prophecies/covenants/agreements written in those books are fulfilled; come to fruition.

I've read the "The Forgotten Books of Adam & Eve" in its entirety, and I immediately noticed several prophecies that came true (i.e. revealing of the flood in the days of Noah, GOD coming in the flesh for the salvation of mankind; The Jews turning against Yahushua/Jesus; the LORD being in the heart, belly of the earth three days, three nights; etc). But then again, what should I expect from a person whose last line was "their place in history is only a fabrication in an effort to lend legitimacy to a flawed religious allegory?" My answer, nothing! And certainly not the truth.

To start with, I am a true and for real U S citizen; a born again Christian; I am not a pastor, not a fanatic, and not a radical; I'm just a normal man and a God fearing human being who I will not waiver my belief, faith, and what my -- God has given unto me in visions - not just dreams, for it is more real than anyone may think. This if fact - not fiction! There are differences in all of these you know; or at least, I pray you know there is anyways!
What I say below is historical fact... this I swear as God is my witness. No - and, I am not crazy either.
Are you a human being?
Are you real? I am as real as you are, and I am al human being like you are and nothing more than a down to earth man using the God given sense I was born with.
Do you use your common sense?
Do you fear God?
If you say yes to all I am asking you, then believe what I am saying as the truth? If not then may God have mercy upon your poor lost soul?

Luluwa was the twin sister of Cain; and Aklemia was the twin sister of Able. These names were given unto me by God in a vision of truth as to how humankind became to be; but what none of you know. Then came Seth, the third son by himself.
Yes; Adam and Eve had 5 children, for Adam knew not his wife Eve after that.
I will not say much about it here because I am writing several books about this and more about what happened in the beginning of humanity -- as I started to say; God would not allow a brother and sister to marry, it was a sin and forbidden - thus, God made other people in another land shortly after He-God made Adam and Eve and their five children; so that when they all were of age, Cain would know his wife in the other land, and it wasn't one of his sisters either. READ THE NKJV BIBLE...
What I say unto you here is the truth, because as I said above here, God gave what I am revealing unto you now --- IS THE TRUTH; I do Not Lie and neither does God... So Help Me - this I swear as God is my witness, not man, not woman, not child.
Believe what you may; but God said all things will be revealed in the end of days; this is only a tiny part of what God gave unto me, and I as well as God wants you to be afraid, be very afraid of what is yet to come. - It is as real as you, I and the entire world population.
"My faithful servant sayeth this truth. Repent - time draweth neigh." Says God - Almighty...

These are the names of other children of Adam and Eve. The story comes to us from the pseudepigraphical work "The Forgotten Books of Adam and Eve."

You can read the story at the link below.

The Books of Adam and Eve are fiction. In the beginning there was no one else to marry so people married siblings. It wasn't until God passed down the law to Moses forbidding intermarrying that it became unlawful because at that point there were many other people on the earth. The human genome was still new and perfect so no harmful mutations were passed on to offspring. God thought people would be smart enough to figure out that Adam and Eve had many many many sons and daughters. No new people were created nor necessary. People should avoid Apocryphal books. Lots of deception in them.
