Where did Cain's wife come from in the bible?

Answer 1

Gen:5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters,but only three are mentioned by name--Cain,Abel,and Seth.In short,Cain married his sister just as later Abraham married his half- sister, Sarah. Such practices were common in those days.

Gen:20:2: And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Gen:20:12: And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

It was not forbidden until the time of Moses.

Lev:18:9: The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

According to The Bible, Cain's wife is not specifically mentioned by name, but she is believed to have come from among his siblings or possibly from another group of humans created by God. This scenario aligns with the idea that Adam and Eve were not the only people in existence at the time.

Answer 3

Cains wife was his very own sister.
