Who did Cain and his brothers take as wifes and who did Enoch take as his wife?

Question

The "lost" books are suppose to tell who the men in the first 2 or so thousand years use to take as their wives to have children by. Any Help here please? Also serious answers only please, Thanks.

Answer 1

The bottom line answer to your question is that Cain married either a sister or some other close relative. The idea of "in-breeding" sounds gross in today's world. Laws on the books today about it are concerned with the genetic damage that can occur to the offspring. This was a concern after many generations of human beings. God told people to not inbreed in Leviticus chapter 18. This was after the world population was in the millions. Back in Eden, relations were with relatives initially. People lived for hundreds of years, and God told them to be fruitful and multiply. Adam and Eve had many children, not just Seth, Cain, and Abel. They in turn had many children, and so on. The Jewish historian Josephus wrote, "The number of Adam's children, as says the old tradition, was 33 sons, and 23 daughters." Adam lived to the age of 930. The genetic breakdown wasn't a concern then because Adam was made perfect in the image of God. Have you ever noticed when you get a "papered" dog, a pure breed, it has a much greater chance of genetic defects. The same is true with the human race as generations come and go.

Answer 2

Cain the murderer found His wife in the land of Nod where He built a entire City. Enoch did not marry, Enoch,walked
with God.Never married, never died.

Answer 3

They took their sisters Ge 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

There was no problem with incest then as the human race was not degraded yet by radiation and such. It was ok to marry in the family (partly because they were the only ones available)

Answer 4

Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters...Yes, Cain married his own sister.

Answer 5

sisters
