  • Jerry M. leonard on Genesis 5 - 9 years ago
    My though on where Cain may have gotten his wife. I can not find no where in the Bible the date when Cain killed Abel. It does say in Ch. 4, V. 25 that God appointed another son Seth to replace Abel. But we know that by reading Ch. 5 V. 3 when Seth was born of Adam he lived 135 years when Seth was born and that 's all we got to go on. So lets just say 40 years old when Cain killed Abel. Now my way of thinking Adam and Eve they started birthing kids, remember Eve was created a full grown women, in 40 years they could easy had 40 children. If you per them up at 16 years old then up that by 3 times in 42 years as time goes on you can lest have a 100 children. Then paring these at 50 in pars by times 40 you have 2000 people on earth in around in no time. I heard some preachers say back then they had 2 to 4 at birth. That could run up to 6000 people on earth then. To me Cain had to marry his great nieces because there not woman names listed except the word daughters in Ch. 5, of the generations. In closing they had to live in tribes of 40 to 50 people to hunt, fish and to live off the land back then. Let 's go in middle and just say 4000 people that 's around a 100 tribes of people. Now stop and think what if that was 100 years when Cain killed Abel.
