Where did Cain's wife come from?

Answer 1

According to scientist, the cabbage patch.

Answer 2

Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

Answer 3

This question comes up way too often, but I will suppose that you didn't see that when you typed your question.

Cain married a woman who has one of two reasons why she would be there to marry:

1) The Bible says that God created Adam and breathed life into him. It does not say that Adam was the only man, and there then could have been other people.

2) Cain married his sister. The bad reaction that people might experience from inbreeding would not be felt because they were close to the point of origin of the race of man. There was a stronger, more capable set of genes available at that time.

Those are the two main theories, yet neither one are the reason why I am a Christian.

Answer 4

One might think that after the murder of Abel, only his guilty brother Cain and their parents, Adam and Eve, were left on the earth. However, Adam and Eve had a large family. According to Genesis 5:3, 4, Adam had a son named Seth. The account adds: “The days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” So Cain married his sister or perhaps one of his nieces. Since mankind was then so close to human perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the health risks that may imperil the offspring of such a union today.

Answer 8

I love the way believers in the Genesis story rationalize the existence of someone who suddenly appears out of no where in the course of the story by saying "god did it and just didn't tell anyone because it wasn't relevant at the time."

Answer 9

Adam's Rib or Adams Dirt, the bible can not quite make up its mind on that one and has conflicting stories in Genesis one and two.

According to the KJV Bible "the land of Nod"
