1. "Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters, chap. v, 4. But Cain and Abel seem to have been the two eldest. Cain signifies possession; for Eve when she bare him said with joy and thankfulness, and great expectation, I have gotten a man from the Lord". ---John Wesley's notes on The Bible

Cain was afraid of his many brothers and sisters,who undoubtedly would have considered getting justice for Abel's sake, so Cain took his wife, who was one of his sisters,and fled for his life.

Answer 2

The name Cain (qayin) is related to qanithi, from a root qanah, meaning "to possess". In the Bible, this was prophetic because Cain was a farmer and put up fences to establish possession of land.

Answer 3

Cain is the first son of Adam and Eve. Both he and his brother Abel brought sacrifices to God. However Cain's attitude was not right and God did not accept his sacrifice, but accepted Abel's sacrifice. Because of this, Cain became jealous of his brother and killed him. God then sentenced him to be a wanderer for the rest of his life, though He protected Cain's life during that time. Adam and Eve then had a third son named Seth, who became the ancestor of Noah.

Answer 4

Gen:4:1: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

Answer 5

One of the sons of Adam and Eve.
