Best Answer

The account in Genesis does not have a single list of all of Adam's offspring, or a manifest of his decendants. We read about Adam's children as they are born in the text of the account. We first read of Abel at Genesis 4:2, and then we continue to read of his dealings with his brother Cain, including Cain's murder of Abel in Genesis chapter 4. What you may be referrring to is John chapter 3, verses 23-38, which is actually the geneology of Jesus, not Adam. It traces Jesus ancestry all the way back to Adam through another of Adam's sons, Seth.

But Adam's genealogy doesn't detail an exact number of Cain and Abel's MANY OTHER BROTHERS:"When Adam was 130 years old, his son Seth was born, and Seth was the very image of his father. After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years, and HE HAD OTHER SONS AND DAUGHTERS." (Gen.5:3-4 NLT New Living Translation)The only question that remains is: "How many children [sons and daughters; brothers and sisters of Cain and Abel] is it possible for a man have in the course of 800 years?"
