Answer 1

That's a good question. I've never gotten a good answer, though. Some say, it is because they were the people that did not make a covenant with God and so were not put in the Garden. Others say it is one of many inconsistencies.

I loved when my mother and I discussed this same issue. She was a devout Christian, but it made her question the Bible because it didn't make sense.

I still don't have a good answer. :) But I'm still searching.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve had many more kids. They married each other, and lived a couple of hundred years. So by the time Cain killed Abel, both already might have had scores of kids and grandkids, nieces and nephews, etc. the family probably already became very large and expanded to different lands.
Folks often ask this question, but I don't see a problem here at all.

Answer 3

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Cain met his wife in Nod. You are adding your own thoughts. Cain's wife could have been one of his sisters or cousin or other female relative. The Bible does not say how old Cain and Abel were at the time Cain killed Abel and was banished, he took his wife with him to Nod.

Answer 4

So Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. (Gen 4:16-17)

The verse makes no mention of other people all ready in the land and also no mention that he met his wife there.

Answer 5

Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Take a couple of steps back and look at the panoramic view. Adam and Eve had more children than just Cain and Abel. These two are mentioned to illustrate a point - i.e. that Cain slew Abel.

Answer 6

In the geneology of the bible, only the people that were significant in the lives they lived having a lesson for us to live by are mentioned. I don't believe that without birth control back then that Adam and Eve only had two sons. I believe there were many children that were not mentioned

Answer 7

you're able to desire to realize it particularly is all bible communicate. The bible writers did no longer know anymore that a monkey. to initiate with, if god had created Adam and Eve love it particularly is instructed, they could have been a hybreed and hybreeds can't produce babies. shall we are saying for communique, god did something to each of them while they ate the fruit. yet nomatter what god did, it nevertheless maintains to be they are of a similar blood sort. despite it exchange into. the babies proved it via being so insane they fought over a carrot. And one murdered the different. Now, we could desire to provide Cain the benifit of doubt that he did no longer know something of death and while he caught Abel with the rock he had no thought he could die. yet he did, and god punished him. God despatched him east of Eden. does not say how some distance away. And there Cain knew his spouse. So, it appears that evidently like god pulled off yet another creation over on the decrease back 40 that exchange into in no way instructed approximately. I heard yet another tale, instructed to me via an previous guy while i exchange into fishing at a river. Adam and Eve had Cain and a daughter. Twins. Then that they had Abel and a daughter. Twins. Cain enjoyed his very own sister as she exchange right into a elegance. however the mothers and dads stated Cain could desire to marry Abels twin sister and Abel could have Cains sister. that did no longer bypass over properly with Cain so he killed Abel. problem solved. yet god found out approximately it and despatched Cain and his sister away. through fact of this Cain knew his spouse. Now, Adam and Eve had yet another son. i think of his call exchange into Seth. while he have been given sufficiently previous he took Abels sister for his spouse and humanity have been given began. however the incest began to tutor generations down the line while all human beings have been blind, insane or gay. through fact of this god drownded each and every thing and went to devise B. in basic terms a narrative you know.

Answer 8

Its pretty much irrelevant. The Book of Genesis is just another of the crazy creation myths of the ancients. I must say, the Egyptian one is probably the only one that makes less sense than the myth accepted by Jews and Christians. It constantly contradicts itself and people never bother to challenge its validity. Many Christians follow the "it's in the Bible, so it's true" routine. It makes me doubt that humans as a whole are smarter than chimpanzees.

Answer 9

Adam and eve actually had more children besides cane and abel, but were not mentioned in the Bible. It is meant to said that cane married one of his actual sisters that had moved.

i heard this from my teacher, but may have mis interperted it over time. im sure almost most of it is accurate, but not 100%.

Answer 10

There was a whole lot o begatting going on back then. Cain and Able were the first two mentioned, there was also Seth, plus a miriad of others who are not mentioned. Multiple births were ommon back then as well. With a perfect DNA incest is not an issue, it wasn't untill after the flood that incest was forbidden. Cain married his sister or a niece.
