Hello, Daniel:
Thank you once again for considering us here at the www.biblestudyhour.net, & .com, in
the resolution of you questions.
Relative to the question of Cain’s wife, there are a lot of unknown’s that need to be
considered, but first, a listing and a weighing of the known’s might be highly beneficial:
1) Adam and Eve were created full grown; thus, they were of child bearing age right
from the beginning
2) The injunction “…be fruitful and multiply…” implies that Adam and Eve were
fully able to comply; Eve was in no wise barren; Adam was not sterile, or,
sexually impotent
3) The first two offspring were Cain and Abel, in that order
4) It is highly unlikely that Adam and Eve, having already delighted themselves in
the joys of the opposite sex, each being fully under the power of a carnal nature,
walked around for the better part of the next one hundred years or so, following
the birth of Abel, without touching each other again
5) Cain murdered his brother Abel
6) Cain found a “wife”, whom he “married”, and bore offspring
7) The next (recorded) offspring was Seth, born when A & E were 130 years old
8) Seth found a “wife” and bore a son, whom he named Enos
9) “men” began to call upon the name of the Lord during his life time
Simply put, Cain got his wife from among his own siblings. The command to “…be
fruitful and multiply…” does not just automatically imply familial inbreeding, it demands
