Was Cain's wife one of Adam and Eve's children? If so, why was she sent away from God with Cain?

Why does the bible only mention that Cain had daughters?

Yes there were people there before him. What many religious people do not realize is that Adam & Eve were not the 1st people on Earth.

The key word here is 'replenish' which simply means to re-fill/ full over/ again, as he also commanded Noah's family to do/ and we know that Noah was not the 1st. Something happened on earth that killed all life before them. In my studies i narrowed it down to the last meteorite shower which also killed the dinosaurs because it is a fact that humans co-existed alongside them and it is also a fact that these creatures are not mentioned in the bible.

Another fact to consider is the Hebrew word for Genesis which is 'Barashiyth' (the spelling may vary). But my point is the 1st part of this word 'bara' which also means to make/ reconstruct.

This verse in the bible is an example of what happened

http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/c.pl?book=Isa&chapter=65&verse=17&version=KJV#17

And 'bara' is being used as create but it does not mean original creation thus the creation story has a high possibility of being a re-construction of this planet or a new beginning for us.

Other writings outside the bible speak of Cain (as well as Abel) having twin sisters and how women originally gave birth to twins (1 male [x&y chromosomes] & 1 female [2 x chromosomes]) and that's why women have 2 mammary glands (breasts)-to suckle 2 children. It can be compared to a dog or a cat have 8 nipples and giving birth to that amount of offspring at 1 time. 1 of the twins would be positive (good) & the other negative (evil). The original intention of the Elohim was for Abel (+) to mate with Cain's twin sister who was (+) and for Cain (-) to mate with Abel's twin sister who was (-) and CAIN REBELED because it was in his nature. The writings describes how jealousy did grow in Cain's heart which eventually led to the murder of Abel.

The lands back then were named after people and the word Nod would tie into an ancient Babylonian god call Nudimud who was called Nud for short.

I do not know how much of this is true but these are the best answers i ever came across in my studies. Peace.

Before Cain was sent to the land of Nod, nobody was staying therein. The wife of Cain came from one among the children of Adam and Eve butr it was no longer stated on the bible because if all events and things be put on the bible, it will take many years of read it. Maybe you will reach the age of dying but you have not yert read the entire book. It is by natural instinct
to say that the wife of Cain is his own sister considering the actual age of Adam when he died.

The bible does not say if there were people in Nod before Cain.

In Genesis chapter 4 verse 17 it says Cain had a son and named him Enoch. Verse 18 lists all the sons Cain had. Enoch was the one who God took to Heaven read Genesis chapter 5 verses 21-24.

Where do you get the Idea it only mentions Cain's daughters. Enoch was Cain's son.

Obviously where Cain got his wife was not important, at least not as important to the writers of the story as labeling people from the East as the children of a murderer. I wonder a bit which place they were referring to as Enoch. It would likely have been one of the Sumerian Capitals seeing as it proceeds the story of the Tower of Babylon built by Nimrod.

The Bible does not quite say who Cain’s spouse substitute into. the only conceivable answer is that Cain's spouse substitute into his sister or niece or great-niece, and so on. The Bible does not say how previous Cain substitute into whilst he killed Abel (Genesis 4:8). because of the fact they have been the two farmers, they have been possibly the two finished-grown adults, possibly with families of their very own. Adam and Eve certainly had given beginning to greater babies than merely Cain and Abel on the time Abel substitute into killed. They somewhat had many greater babies later (Genesis 5:4). the reality that Cain substitute into scared for his very own existence after he killed Abel (Genesis 4:14) shows that there have been possibly many different babies and perhaps even grandchildren of Adam and Eve already residing at that factor. Cain's spouse (Genesis 4:17) substitute right into a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve. because of the fact Adam and Eve have been the 1st (and in basic terms) human beings, their babies could have not have been given the different decision than to intermarry. God did no longer forbid inter-family members marriage till lots later whilst there have been sufficient human beings to make intermarriage pointless (Leviticus 18:6-18). the reason that incest at present usually leads to genetic abnormalities is that when 2 human beings of similar genetics (i.e., a brother and sister) have babies jointly, there's a severe danger of their recessive characteristics transforming into dominant. whilst human beings from diverse families have babies, it is extremely unlikely that the two parents will carry the comparable recessive features. The human genetic code has substitute right into a growing to be variety of “polluted” over the centuries as genetic defects are expanded, amplified, and exceeded down from technology to technology. Adam and Eve did no longer have any genetic defects, and that enabled them and the 1st few generations of their descendants to have a some distance greater desirable high quality of wellness than we do now. Adam and Eve’s babies had few, if any, genetic defects. as a result, it substitute into risk-free for them to intermarry.
