Bible Discussion Thread

Hello Dylan Jayawardena I would like to make one small correction. Cain could have married a niece if Abel had any children before his death. However, the Bible does not mention that Abel had any children. It does not mention any lineage from Abel at all. Cain left from around his family and took his wife to the land of Nod, before Seth was born and had children of his own, Genesis 7 16 17 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 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 . So therefore, one can only deduce that Cain married one of his sisters. Remember Cain had to have gotten his wife from somewhere and the only one producing children at that time that is recorded is Eve. This is not to say that there were no other male children born it s just that the main characters talked about was significant enough that God had them mentioned to teach us what happened.
