Genesis contradictions........?

Question

Leviticus, chapter 20 texts from 10-21

In these verses, God clearly explained the illegal relationships.

what my doubt is:

Genesis, chapter 4 text 1,2,8

Adam and Eve begot 2 sons (Cain, Abel). Cain killed his brother Abel (see the valid reason).

Genesis, Chapter 4 text 15,16,17

In these verses you can find, God's punishment to Cain.

In text 17 clearly says that Cain was not with their family, but he knew his wife(!!!!), who was she, from where she came.

1) Is it possible to built a city for just 3 persons???

Genesis, Chapter 4 text 25,26

These verses clearly says about the thrid son of the first man and woman. But everyone got married(!!!).

2) First of all i want to know where these womens came from?

3) God gave some instructions but he made some creations to violate the same rules which he gave to Moses. Is it not contradictory.

Any one please explain based on Bible, don't speculate.

Answer 1

How old was Adam when he died? over 900 years old....How old were his children and Grandchildren when they passed? Answer over 900 years old in 900 years how many imediate children is it feasable a man could have? 900? and if each child lived 900 years how many granchildren would we count? 900x900? you can go for generations over the period of nine hundred years cities were built and entire civilizations created. is it unusual that Cain might have met someone out of the many people available to him?

Answer 2

Cain went to the land of Nod, that is where he found and married his wife. The Mormons claim she was a niece of one of Cain's siblings that is NOT mentioned in scripture. We know that Adam and Eve also bore a son Seth. They had other sons and daugthers as well, that is mentioned in scripture.

Another explanation of where she came from is.. when God created Adam and Eve, there were others living at the time and God wanted to show them His powers and therefore He created man from dust and took a rib from his side to create the woman.

Your question is a trivia one that we can ask God in person when we go to His kingdom.

Why wouldn't a city be built for three people? It has to start some where, does it not?

It was NOT uncommon for families to in bred... to go and populate the world. We still have people that in bred!

There is no contradiction within God's Bible. Its in the way humans interrupt it that makes it contradicting.

Answer 3

Genesis does not say that Cain and Abel were the only two children of Adam and Eve at the time of the murder of Abel or how many years from the time of the expulsion from the Garden. You cannot give an adequate explanation without speculation based on the lack of info.
If we were allowed to speculate, I would have given my thoughts on the women and their relationship to the named family.

Answer 4

Oh my goodness the internet is peppered with answers to that question. Just do a word search on "Where did Cain get his wife?" I must have answered this question over 500 times.
Adam and Eve, IF you read the text, it says had more children. It also said they lived for almost 1000 years. How many children do you think a woman could have in 1000 years? And how many children would her children have? etc.... The laws for inter-marrying close family members didn't come till after the flood of noah when the genetic diversity was bottlenecked and only ran through Noah's family line.

Cain's wife was his sister. It was "legal" then and not looked down upon morally then.

Answer 5

The women were came from Adam and Eve, they were Cains sisters. The bible only gave account of the male children. That why God put a mark on Cain, because he Knew everyone, because they were his family..The law against incest was not put into law until the 10 commandments.

Answer 6

Leviticus 10: 10-21 discusses the proper way to complete a sin offering. It is to be done in a holy place, etc.

Genesis 6: 1-4 answers the where did the women come from. God placed them there. Sons of God would be angels or other men God created as he did Adam.

Answer 7

IF God created Adam and Eve, there were also other people on this planet. Cain went to Nod where he found a wife.

Answer 8

adam and eve had many sons and daughters. they married and had kids, that is how population started, by the time moses came into the pictures their were many different tribes and people. and God put a stop to the marrieng ones family members. it is not a contradiction merely a change in how things were done.

Answer 9

From what i can see is this one issue, You find Noah In
Genesis 5, Moses first appears in Exodus 2, and the law first appears around Exodus 19. the only thing i can say(because you don't want us to speculate) is ask God himself when you die.

Answer 10

First of all, at 2 Timothy 3:16 reads: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight."

Where did Cain get his wife if there was just one family?

Gen. 3:20: “Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living.” (So all humans were to be the offspring of Adam and Eve.)

Gen. 5:3, 4: “Adam lived on for a hundred and thirty years. Then he became father to a son in his likeness, in his image, and called his name Seth. And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” (One of Adam’s sons was Cain, and one of Adam’s daughters must have become Cain’s wife. At that time in human history when humans still had outstanding physical health and vitality, as indicated by the length of their lives, the likelihood of passing on defects as a result of marrying a close relative was not great. After some 2,500 years of human history, however, when mankind’s physical condition had greatly deteriorated, Jehovah gave to Israel laws forbidding incest.)

Gen. 4:16, 17: “Cain went away from the face of Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Fugitiveness [or, Nod] to the east of Eden. Afterward Cain had intercourse with his wife [“knew his wife,” that is, intimately so, KJ, RS; “lay with his wife,” NE] and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch.” (Notice that Cain did not first meet his wife in the land to which he fled, as if she were from another family. Rather, it was there that he had sexual relations with her to produce a son.)

Answer 11

Adam and Eve lived for hundreds of years and doubtless had many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. Thats where all the people came from. So what do you mean when you ask where the women came from? They were decendants of Adam and Eve of course.
