If Cain was Adams first son and Abel his 2nd, following the lineage (or the "begats" as I call them)...who were the people Cain feared would slay him. Also, where did Cain and Abel get their wives from?

His siblings and their children and grandchildren.

Go to www.christiananswers.net for its one of the sites that answers that question quite well. In the Bible it states that Cain was the first "son" and Abel the second"son" but does not say there were no daughters or that there were but logic tells you that in the beginning for the human race to multiply there had to be incest and that their wives were their sisters. Read all of Genesis and pay attention that Eve was called the Mother of all living people and the reason why God made eve from the rib of Adam is because after God made Adam from dust and had made the animals Adam loooked around and found no other like him-so Adam did not ever mean mankind as some say and how they explain the wives etc that God made more people than just Adam and Eve-then Adam would have found a mate and no need for God to put him to sleep take his rib and form Eve. Think on it.

Our First Parents lived 900 years. That's a lot of time for "begatting". Cain obviously married a sister or a cousin, as the genetic code was pure and there were no pronouncements, legal or otherwise, against consanguinity or "incest".
The "others' were obviously relatives as well

If you read Genesis, the Elohim created men in "our image" (note the plural) on the sixth day. These men were given dominion over the land. Then, on the eighth day, Yahweh Elohim (a specific being) created the Garden and the whole sordid mess ensued. Those Other People show up every once in awhile. The Bible was meant to be the story of the people of Yahweh, not all of mankind.

first off Abel was too dead to get a wife. It is written that Cain went to the land of nod and took a wife there. I believe her name was Lilith. these people were all the races that were created on the sixth "day" mentioned in genesis 1verse 26.

the first two people Adam and Eve had children...these children married each other.....and then they married nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts uncles. It was not incest in the beginning. God told Adam to be fruitful and fill the earth. There were no other persons on the earth.
Only centuries later did he institute the law of incest.
The people Cain fled from were his relatives.

As each and every white guy in those days (the days of Brigham youthful), they have been racist by immediately's standard, in spite of the shown fact that for the time of addition they have been abolitionists and "*****-fanatics" by the factors of their time. They tried to make experience of their international with the counsel that they had, which comprise the biases that they had discovered from their protestant background. And keep in mind, in the situations those issues have been mentioned and written, ***** replaced into no longer a foul observe. It replaced right into a denominator utilized by each and every person. This brought about the so called "priesthood ban". And returned the subsequent technology tried to make experience with the failings that they had. it is like a puzzle: you have some information, you have some revelation, and additionally you attempt to make an entire image out of it with out understanding the completed image in improve. on each and every occasion a sparkling piece comes into the the perfect option place, the image gets clearer, and a few components of the image you imagined could be tossed out, because of the fact they are incorrect. Likewise right here, whilst the recent revelation got here that ended the priesthood ban, old "truths" had to be tossed out. subsequently between the apostles mentioned: "overlook something I or all and sundry else mentioned (with regard to the priesthood ban and touching directly to black people of African descent) ahead of this revelation: We did no longer have the understanding we've."

Please stop answering this question as though incest was ok back in the day. Do you know how many stupid over the top religious fanatics will start having sex with their immediate family in the name of true religion -follow the exact replications of the bible to get to heaven? They will preach us all to hell for not sleeping with our immediate families. I know this is going to be rated a "bad answer" but the state I am in has a lot of the type of people that I am talking about. You just think that you are in the twilight zone sometimes here

It must have been their siblings. There were no other people besides their family. Adam and Eve could have had hundreds of children in the hundreds of years that they lived.
