Everyone asks this question so here is the answer. If you have a better one feel free to tell all about it.
Where did Cain get his wife? This doesn't say that he had to go looking for her. He had her with him all the time.
this wasn't written until Mosses wrote it in the wilderness 3,500 years later. So only the principal characters would be remembered.
women were not recorded in the bible so there could have been a lot of women. Due to the fact that some took multiple wives.

(Genesis 4:17) 17 Afterward Cain had intercourse with his wife and she became pregnant and gave birth to E´noch. Then he engaged in building a city and called the city’s name by the name of his son E´noch.

(Genesis 4:19) 19 And La´mech proceeded to take two wives for himself. The name of the first was A´dah and the name of the second was Zil´lah.

(Genesis 5:3-4) 3 And 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. 4 And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.

Read this scripture again!!!!!!!!!!! He became father to sons and daughters indicating that some were there that wasn't recorded by name.

Cain got his wife from his mother. It was his sister. If you will recall it says that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters. Back then though, the genetics were so pure that it was okay for an incest relationship. God didn't deny incest relationships until there was enough people in the earth that you could marry someone who was a distant, distant relative. So it was his sister.

Answer - - out of the land of Nod.
Tony, I don't think you're actually looking for answers. It seems that you're in the preaching mood, but have no church. All that stuff was written by very superstitious people who lived in a time when every tiny movement was governed by signs and omens. Who cares what they had to say ?
Religion can make any claim it cares to, you can't dispute it. It can't be argued. The only discussion ever made is about the recording, not the existance.

cains spouse became into discovered interior the land of Nod. i think of Nod is a element of africa, possibly the place Sumaria is discovered as we talk. yet i could no longer say for particular. Sumaria ought to be the place Ham and egyptus first homesteaded. however the oldest abode won't additionally be discovered archeologically. because of the fact it may be the place Adam and eve lived, no longer an entire city. having suggested that the e book of urantia says there have been 4 races already interior the international while Adam and Eve arrived. the information that I even have been taught are that Eve had fifty six toddlers. and the e book of mormon (interior the pearl of super fee) says that their toddlers enjoyed devil extra desirable than God. as on your slam against creation. purely one witness, or one prophet of God, is sufficient testimony to disprove that evolution ever got here approximately. interior the pearl of super fee Abraham became right into a witness of the creation.

"He had her with him all the time.

1,500.

And that was about 570 years after Adam's death.

I did a study on this, mind you.

Cain's wife was inevitabely one of Adam and Eve's daughters.

Genesis 5:3-5

When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had -->OTHER<-- sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.

'incest' was declared unlawful later during moses' day.

Cain married his sister - another child of Adam and Eve

that wasn't unheard of in those times

Abraham married his half sister sarai and no one thinks anything of that

also Pharaohs used to marry their sisters too - just to keep it in the family - and no one thinks anything bad about that either - despite all the growing congenital conditions that emerged over time

because Adam and eves DNA was undamaged it meant that marrying of close relatives was not a danger to the health and vigor of the human race. it is only when DNA began to become degraded that a taboo on intermarriage of close relatives emerged

Abel and Cain were the first 2 children of many children that Adam and Eve had. Since these were supposedly the only humans in existence, Cain hooked up with one of his sisters.
Being that there bodies were more closer to perfection and far more superior to ours, inbreeding would'nt have posed the genetic problems for them as they would for us.

No, in reality Cain married his sister and they had a son that was really good at playing the banjo.

From his mother in law and his father-in-law!
Adam and Eve were brother and sister. Do not brothers and sisters have the same father?
Cain got his wife where you got yours: "courtin"
