Cain married his sister or niece. Adam and Eve had many little little ones. The Bible did no longer say that Cain chanced on a spouse interior the land of Nod, it basically says that he had a spouse. The land of Nod is translated the land of fugitiveness - because of the fact Cain replaced right into a fugitive. hence, he did no longer pass to a place already named Nod, it replaced into named Nod because of the fact Cain went there.

You don't think Adam and Eve had more than 3 kids. Adam lived 800 or 900 years or so that's enough time to make a lot of kids. The people of Nod were of Adams lineage too

he probably followed a dream he had when he was sleeping 1 night to fulfil a dream u av2 follow a dream, he met his wife there, maybe he dreamed that he would meet his wife there and went to look if he convinced himself the dream would come true and hed find a wife how hard would it be? then he could say i met my wife in the land of nod, im probably way off but thats my take on it short and simple. but believable, but then im probably talkin out my backside aint i!!! xx but we all descend from noah and his sons , everyone drowned noah got on his boat with a load of animals his wife sons and thier wives, so i would look there but it must of taken some doing to populate the planet this much,

How many hundreds or thousands of people were born in the Garden of Eden? They were told to have children, but nothing is said of them. (Genesis 3:16 The LORD God said to the woman, “I will greatly increase your pain when you give birth. You will be in pain when you have children. You will long for your husband. And he will rule over you.”) How could it be "increase" if she had not had children?
That is just one thought. We are given no indication of time between the formation of Eve and the "fall." This is one of many places where scripture is silent or vague.

That's where 'the other people' live. One theory is that the garden of Eden area was just one spot where one particular God chose to set up shop. So using the same theory, Nod was another area where another diety did the same thing.

presumably from Adams first wife, Lilith, who fled the garden of eden to the shores of the red sea wher she coupled with a hundred demons a day and bore a thousand of their demonic children at night

I think they were here the whole time. I don't believe that Adam and Eve were the only two people on the entire planet. The entire story of Genesis is a metaphor.

The land of nod, east of Eden, if you know, why ask.

The apologetic answers to this are a real hoot. Eve just kept having babies for 900 years. I'll bet she breast fed them all too.:-)
Even Adam's godly popo would have worn out long before that.
