in the bible cain and able come from eve. cain kills able and goes off with his wife, where did she come from?

Answer 1

Adam was created first, then Eve was created from the rib of Adam.

After they were placed on earth, they procreated.
Their offspring were born in pigeon pairs i.e. they had twins who were one male child and one female child.

The female offspring from the first set of twins married the male offspring from the second set of twins.
The male from the first set of twins married the female from the second set of twins.

That was how their family grew.

The story of Cane and Abel: Cain wanted to marry his own twin sister (the twin who was born at the same time as him). She was supposed to marry Abel. When Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God, Cain Murdered Abel.

Answer 2

Cain married his sister. No where in the bible does it say that Cain and Able were the first and second born of Adam and Eve. What it does say is in Genisis 5:4 is, "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters." So we know that Cain did have sisters also Gods law to not marry close relations did not come until much later.

Answer 3

The truth is that the Bible doesn't say anything about where she came from except the land of Nod. There are some that believe that she was Cain & Abel's sister. The reason for that is that they were the only family on earth. And the Bible states that Adam had sons and daughters. Other than that, who knows?

Answer 4

Seth was born to Adam and Eve shortly after Cain killed Abel in the 130th year.
How many children could have been born to Adam and Eve and even one brother and sister producing children.
Cain took a sister or a cousin or a second cousin.
Eve was bone of Adam's bones and Flesh of Adam's flesh and how much closer can any one be than that.
There was no chance for deformity and no incest law in the land.
That came 2515 years later when hunchbacks and dwarfs appeared and outside the tribes were giants 859 years after the flood and Adam died 726 years before the flood.

Answer 5

Adam and Eve had other children. Cain married one of his sisters. God permitted this in those early days to help populate the earth. There were no problems with inbreeding.

Answer 6

Its called symbolism. In my opinion that part of the Bible is all about symbolic representation of creation and should not be taken literally as many people do. I'm not knocking anyone's faith of course, you can believe anything you want to, but the only way to account for the sheer scale of missing information at the beginning of the Bible is that it was always only intended to symbolise the beginning of man and his relationship with God - it was never meant to be taken as pure fact.

Answer 7

In the beginning life was longer and was lived out to 1000 years on average,for there wasn't much sickness as there is in to days world and is brought into the world through the act of sin ,the transgression of the law of God she came from the land of Nod and was one of the offspring of the daughters Eve and Adam

Answer 8

The Bible does not really tell us about such things because we don't have a need to know such things.

Think about it - do you answer every single question that appears on Yahoo Answers?

The awesome uncreated Creator of the universe tells us what we need to know about the Creator and the creation.

Answer 9

all the knowledge we have about Adam and Eve came from the blood line of Moses. They were his ancestors back ten generations. So we started there....but that doesn't mean they were the first. They are pretty much metaphors....

Answer 10

Well let's see, Eve was the mother of all living... Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters... This really isn't that hard!
