Answer 1

OK, you asked for it:

Nod was a city of people that weren't created by YHWH. Genesis 1 tells the story of people being created by a council of gods ("Let US create..."), while Genesis 2 tells a separate story about YHWH creating Eden specifically along with Adam & Eve. The multiple-gods model also explains why YHWH says "I am a jealous god".

Of course, I'd rather just ditch the tale all together and go with science's best answers. But I don't see why what I wrote above would contradict the Bible.

Answer 2

The Bible does not specifically say who Cain’s wife was. The only possible answer was that Cain's wife was his sister or niece or great-niece, etc. The Bible does not say how old Cain was when he killed Abel (Genesis 4:8). Since they were both farmers, they were likely both full-grown adults, possibly with families of their own. Adam and Eve had surely had more children than just Cain and Abel at the time Abel was killed - they definitely had many more children later (Genesis 5:4). The fact that Cain was scared for his own life after he killed Abel (Genesis 4:14) indicates that there were likely many other children and perhaps even grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Adam and Eve at that time. Cain's wife (Genesis 4:17) was a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve.

Since Adam and Eve were the first (and only) human beings, their children would have no other choice than to intermarry. God did not forbid inter-family marriage until much later when there was enough people that intermarriage was not necessary (Leviticus 18:6-18).

Answer 3

Sorry, but Cain married his sister, but then he had 23 sisters if the historian Josephus is correct. He also had 32 brothers.
Adam lived to be 930 years old. His wife was either his sister or his sister and brother's daughter or his niece. The bloodline was pure and they didn't have 6,000 years of a cursed condition to live in like we have. The law forbidding close relatives marrying was not given until the time of Moses.
We all marry our relation. If we don't marry our relation we don't marry a human - all are of one blood.

Answer 4

Hello;

More than likely, one of his sisters. Her name is not given. The 10 Commandments were not yet given, so he committed no sin. In the Patriarchal system under which he lived. The males had all the say. It was a matter of survival, so it was not incest, seeing there was no such a law against this practice.

Answer 5

Cain married ’Âwân in the Book of Jubilees, or Luluwa as she's called in the First Book of Adam and Eve

In the apocrypha, it is believed the both Cain and Abel had twin sisters.

King David writes,"The world was built with kindness." Jewish sages interpreted this to mean that God kindly allowed Cain to wed his sister in order for humankind to be founded.

Answer 6

He went to the land of Nod and took a wife there.

Genesis 4:16-17 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Answer 7

Read Genesis 4:16. You will see that he married a woman of the land of Nod. Everyone in the creation is not named in the Bible.

Answer 8

Perhaps when men were first made the creative power within was like God's? Perhaps they were other created beings that just didn't get written about in the Bible? God can make something out of nothing, did you forget. Who knows, and does it do any good to try and rationalize it? God is God and he is sovereign. He can do whatever He wants to His creation.

Answer 9

well, there is no other answer than incest. He married a sister or a niece. Either way, it was someone related to him.

Answer 10

Um.... Mrs. Cain?
