I'm referring to Genesis. I know the whole deal with Cain marrying his sister. I'm just wondering how Adam and Eve populated Nod, the land East of Eden. How many kids did they have?

It's a mystery.

The Bible doesn't say but we know Adam and Eve had many children and that these were the population of Nod. The Bible also makes reference to God increasing Eves conception, this would have meant that Eve could have many more children than is normal today. Remember though that basically none of these people have decedents living today due to the entire population being wiped out in Noah's flood, only Noah's wife and the wives of his three sons could have come from a different (ancestor?) than what is quoted in the Bible (Genesis 5)

They had many children, but the Bible only tells us of the three that are named.

The creation story is just that, a story. It is not history. Adam and Eve were not real people.

The Bible doesn't tell us.
