Cain, being the offspring of Adam and Eve, the first two people on earth, according to Genesis, probably married his sister, although nothing is said about her -- only the brother, Abel. It stands to reason that with a total earth population of two, Adam and Eve begat Cain, Abel, and ostensibly a female child. Incest and intermarriage were common in Biblical times as a necessity for continued procreation. If anyone else has a better explanation, I'd love to hear it.

Read the bible again. Carefully, this time. Apparently millions don't. It does not say that Adam and Eve were the first people; the chapter before, man is created. Then the next chapter, Adam and Eve were created special..apparently to make them more godlike. So Cain, after knocking his brother's head off, or slaying him however, walked down to the local village where the less godlike were and took a woman there. Some heathen, apparently.

I disagree with SCOUT485. God did not create those in His own image and others who were second-grade people. It's like says God created BMWs and VWs. No way. We were all created in His image.
So, where did Cain's wife come from? Let us be honest and say we do not know. However, there are two ways to figure this out: The first way to figure this out is to assume that he probably married his sister. The second way that we can figure this out is through revelation. God still reveals the not so obvious things in the bible to those who are filled with His spirit. So, for those of you who are Holy Ghost filled, pray and seek God for an answer and He will reveal the answer to you as He wills. Never forget that the Holy Spirit is your teacher.

The Bible records the births of Cain, Able, and Seth from Adam and Eve.
The Bible never says these were their only children.

The Bible doesn't list female children in family histories.
Either (or both) Cain and Abel must have fathered a children by one of their sisters.
The entire human race is thus the product of incest.

He was a wanderer for years. That was when a large population boom happened.
