....Even though only these three males are mentioned by name, Adam and Eve had other children. In Genesis 5:4 a statement sums up the life of Adam and Eve—‘And the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters.’ This does not say when they were born. Many could have been born in the 130 years (Genesis 5:3) before Seth was born.

During their lives, Adam and Eve had a number of male and female children. The Jewish historian Josephus wrote that, ‘The number of Adam’s children, as says the old tradition, was thirty-three sons and twenty-three daughters.’

The Bible does not tell us how many children were born to Adam and Eve. However, considering their long life spans (Adam lived for 930 years—Genesis 5:5), it would seem reasonable to suggest there were many! Remember, they were commanded to ‘Be fruitful, and multiply’ (Genesis 1:28)...

...If we now work totally from Scripture, without any personal prejudices or other extra-Biblical ideas, then back at the beginning, when there was only the first generation, brothers would have had to have married sisters or there would be no more generations!

We are not told when Cain married or any of the details of other marriages and children, but we can say for certain that some brothers had to marry their sisters at the beginning of human history....

...Some claim that the passage in Genesis 4:16–17 means that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. Thus, they can conclude there must have been another race of people on the Earth, who were not descendants of Adam, who produced Cain’s wife.

‘And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.’

From what has been stated previously, it is clear that all humans, Cain’s wife included, are descendants of Adam. However, this passage does not say that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. John Calvin, commenting on these verses, states:

‘From the context we may gather that Cain, before he slew his brother, had married a wife; otherwise Moses would now have related something respecting his marriage.’

Cain was married before he went to the land of Nod. He didn’t find a wife there, but ‘knew’ (had sexual relations with) his wife.

Others have argued that because Cain built a ‘city’ in the land of Nod, there must have been a lot of people there. However, the Hebrew word translated as ‘city’ need not mean what we might imagine from the connotations of ‘city’ today. The word meant a ‘walled town’ or a protected encampment.15 Even a hundred people would be plenty for such a ‘city.’ Nevertheless, there could have been many descendants of Adam on the Earth by the time of Abel’s death...

Answer 3

Why do you say "they only had 2 sons".

There are 1,189 chapters int he Bible.

If you had read all the way through to the fifth chapter of the first book you would have found"

"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.


So why do you say they "only had 2 sons one of which was dead" when the Bible itself says they had SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

And if you read the Jewish Historian, Flavius Josephus, you would know that Jewish tradition says that Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters.

Also, what translation are you reading where the name is "Cane"? Most translations say "Cain"; Hebrew, of course, has a different spelling than either of those.

Answer 4

This is such an interesting question. I have always thought there would have to be incest involved in order to be fruitful and multiply, because Eve was the only female around. Or were there all kinds of other people out there who didn't get to live in the Garden of Eden ( a gated community.) And once Adam and Eve were thrown out of paradise, they got to hobnob with the common folk, and let nature take its course. I wonder how theologians explain it.

Answer 5

Yeah, it's a conundrum, because if you start with just two, there's inevitably got to be some incest going on in a generation. I guess in those days God was willing to look the other way, just like He did wiith that whole Adam and Steve thing you always hear about.

Answer 6

In Genesis: 4: 15-17 The bible tells you that Cain was banished from the face of God. He went out to the land of Nod on the east of Eden. He lay with his wife and had a son named Enoch.

Read the rest to find out...

Answer 7

Cain was Adams and Eve's son.

Answer 8

Cain lived on. He was just an outcast. And Adam and Eve had more children than just Cain and Able. We only hear about these two b/c of what took place.

Answer 9

The bible only mentioned to sons. They had many children, who had to marry each other. At the time there were no laws against it and there wouldn't be mutations because of the perfect way God made the originals, not t mention the preflood atmosphere was so much better than todays.

Answer 10

Since they were the first humans, Caine had a whole wide wide world in which to wander. They had many children. Not just two.

Answer 11

According to Genesis he was banished to the land of Nod, East of Eden.
