Did Adam and Eve only have sons?

Answer 1

No, it is fair to believe that they had several daughter and sons that are not mentioned in the Bible.

Answer 2

Believe it or not, but according to Genesis 5:4 "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters."

Answer 3

Where did Cain get his wife? Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God’s Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister. Leviticus 18:9.

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.

Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.

Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?

The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.

Answer 4

No, only Eve had the sons. Adam had the daughters.

Actually, the sons also had the daughters (thus, the daughters had the sons too, of course)

Answer 5

They had many sons and daughters. Adam lived over 900 years, so he had plenty of time to make 100's of children and more and did.

Answer 6

Genesis 5:4
And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.

Answer 7

It appears so. Cain and Able.

Christians like to assume that they had lots of children even though none are mentioned in the bible besides their two sons. They have a tendency to pick and choose and ignore certain things - often just Making. Stuff. Up.

So, either Cain and Able had sex with their mother, or there were several daughters who were not mentioned and Cain and Able had sex with their sisters.

Lovely, innit?

Answer 8

Check out Gen. 5:4. They had other sons and daughters.

Answer 9

Daughters were generally not mentioned because the genealogy was traced through sons, making daughters irrelevant to the discussion.

Answer 10

Yes Cain and Able they went on to product there own children which probably where some girl children
