Who did Cain marry?

Question

In Genesis, Adam and Eve had three sons: Cain, Abel and Seth. Then it says that Cain got married and had children. Where did his wife come from???

Answer 1

he married his sister.
at that time women were not important enough to list.

Answer 2

The Bible would not let us know who they married. yet some have stated "obviously, he married his sister (Gen. 20:12). In Gen. 5, Seth became born even as Adam became 130 years previous. Adam lived to be 930 years previous and persevered having little children. His toddlers also married and procreated. Adam lived to ensure the youngsters of his 9th era. through the time the activities of Gen. 4:16-17 handed off, there became a growing inhabitants on earth from the marriages between those little children. So, Cain outfitted a "city." You don’t do this for purely 2 human beings. The prepare of marrying sisters became stopped in Lev. 18." Married both their sisters or nieces... as others observed.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve also had many other children, and they all married and produced offspring as well. It had to have been one of them. Because the Bible doesn't name them all is not proof they did not exise. Rather, the Bible names the three who were the most important to the history of the world. Able, because he was accepted by God, Cain because he was cursed by God, and Seth because he was the next one blessed and accepted by God again.

Answer 4

His sister!!

This part was left out of the bible because when it was being compiled, around 500-600 a.d. priests didn't want people to think incest was ok.
But life had to start somewhere.

To learn more information about the creation times that aren't in the bible, read the book of Adam and Eve.

It was used and loved by Christians hundreds of years before there was a an actual Bible.

(Yes, Eve had lots sons and daughters!)

Answer 5

Either the boys had sisters that are not mentioned or there were tribes of other people created by other gods and he found one of these to live with once outcast from his family and his god. In fact the beginning of Genesis says "for we made man in our image". So it is likely those details are blurred/ignored to hide the fact that the one who created Adam and Eve was not the only creator of humans.

Answer 6

Here is the definative answer to this age old question. It is found in the Book of Jubilees.

And Cain took Awan his sister to be his wife and she bare him Enoch at the close of the fourth jubilee.

Now you don't have to ask again.

And if start asking about the rest of the familiy:

Seth took Azura his sister to be his wife, and in the fourth she bare him Enos. He began to call on the name of the Lord on the earth. And in the seventh jubilee. Enos took Noam his sister to be his wife, and she bare him a son

Answer 7

What I understood was that it was most likely a sister and since we were closer to Gods likeness during that time without all the "defects" we have now days that there wasn't the problems that occur now days with inbreeding. Most of the time the amount of daughters were not mentioned.

Answer 8

Eve

Answer 9

Clearly the Bible alludes to "other people" in distant lands. Remember when Cain was talking to God when he was being banished? He was concerned that the people outside of the land he was living in would kill him if they saw him.

If there weren't other people around, why would Cain mention it? Why would he be concerned? And, lastly, if Cain was incorrect, why didn't God correct him and assure him that there weren't other people around?

Answer 10

His wife was his mother, Eve. Inbreeding was common back then to spread the race.

Answer 11

Either God populated the earth or it was of relation that he married. Since we're not all showing the ill effects of brain damage due to inbreeding, I think it's safe to assume God created other people.
