Bible-Because God didnt have females named for ancestry-does that mean adam and his boys never had daughters??

Question

I'm glad I prayed and let Jesus into my Jewish heart to be saved from sin and unbelief-it makes life easier to believe Jesus my savior and best friend and his love letter to my life the bible!! what do you think--?

Answer 1

I suggest that you read that love letter. For instance:

And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters
Genesis 5:4

Adam and Eve had at least 7 children. Cain, Abel, Seth, sons which means at least 2 more boys, and daughters which means at least 2 girls. They probably had many other children that are not listed because they are not needed in the geneology of Christ.

Answer 2

nah. They had daughters. You should know this (as a Jew); the Old Testament (a Hebrew Compilation) is subject to the common traditions and customs of the Jews.

My point here is that in Jewish (and most semitic) custom, the lineage was recorded through the male. This is mainly because (as seen with Jacob) polygomy did occur and to follow the female would definitely complicate the process. Some sons of Jacob were of Leah, one of Rachel, etc.

However, at some points in the given lineage of Jesus (Matthew 1) the mothers are listed. However it is important to see who those women are: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Those names are important because none of them were Jews by birth. It was important to note that the Son of David did not descend only from Jews, but also Gentiles.

The purpose of this is not fully revealed until Peter's vision in Acts, where he is symbolically shown that the Gospel would be available to the Gentile and the Jew alike.

little bit of a long answer for a simple question...:-D hope it helped!

Answer 3

Genesis

How many sons and daughters could Adam and Eve have in 130 years to Seth and How many after that ?

5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
5:3 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:
5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
5:7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, zilpah, Rahab, Naomi, Ruth, Jochebed, Elisheba
Mariam, Deborah, Hannah and Esther and all the mother's of all the kings.

Not any thing important is neglected in the bible.

Answer 4

God was concerned with outlining the leneage of His son Jesus, starting with Adam and finally leading to His birth. It was a great blessing for a woman to give birth to a boy. God has His reasons why.

There are several women mentioned in the bible that also had connections with Jesus leneage as well. Sarah , Mary, Mary's cousin who was the mother of John the baptist, just to name of few. Men where the strength of Gods plan, and women were there in support of them.Their roles were also important. There is a book called "Women of the bible". It might make some good reading if you can get it..

We dont' have to have all the answers to all of our questions, simply because we aren't entitled to all of them. God was then, is now and always will be, greater than we are, and will always know more than we do. This shall hold true even after we are in heaven with Him. Praise the Lord.

God hasn't even told His own son Jesus when He is to return for His church when it is to be raptured. God is the only one with all the answers. I personally can accept that.

Answer 5

You need to read further. Adam and Eve did have both sons and daughters, quite a few as a matter of fact. It was God's command that they go and fill the earth.
True for the purpose of this command, brothers did marry sisters, but in marrying them, they also excepted God into the marriage and he kept it clean until sufficient population was attained. That was determined by the appearance of illness and deformity. Then God put a stop to in family marrying.

Answer 6

Okay, first, let me say I am glad you came to a saving knowledge of Christ, second, the Bible does not mention many females because the only importence of geniolgy is to recognize that Jesus is a descendent of David, the rest is irrelevent to the big picture.

Answer 7

on the time God had no longer introduced out the rule approximately incest because of the fact a million. The human gene pool became organic and you should literaly make love on your sister and characteristic a superbly well-being new child 2.God reported "be fruitfull and multiply" (Genesis a million v 28) so Adam and Eve did as God commanded 3.the infants had to come again from someplace and God in easy terms created 2 human beings so Incest became no longer a sin. It in easy terms grew to become a sin while God gave the regulation to moses (Lev 18v6) so a techniques as i'm conscious. i ought to be incorrect nevertheless.

Answer 8

The Paternal Blessing, therefore the Inheritance, comes through the Elder Son.

Answer 9

If Adam and Eve had no daughters, then Eve could not be the mother of all living and the Bible specifically says she is.

Answer 10

Adam did have daughters
