Who are the descendant's of abel?

Answer 1

There are a couple different genealogies given for the descendants of Cain. These appear in Genesis (4:16-23; 5:21-29). One reason for this may be that those recording the genealogy did not want to have heros such as Enoch and Noah to be known descendants of the first murder, Cain; so they instead made them descendants of Cain's brother, Seth (Adam and Eve's third son). The most reliable genealogy seems to go:

Adam

Cain

Enoch

Irad

Mehujael

Methusael

Lamech

Noah

The above seems to be incorrect, according to Genesis 5:17-29 the Enoch and Lamech, descendants of Seth were different from the Enoch and Lamech descendants of Cain.

Answer 2

There are also the descendants from shem, ham, and japheth (the sons of moses), and then all of there sons and daughtersHere is what the Bible says Genesis 9: 18-28 The Sons of Noah 18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth. 20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded [a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

"Cursed be Canaan!

The lowest of slaves

will he be to his brothers." 26 He also said,

"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!

May Canaan be the slave of Shem. [b] 27 May God extend the territory of Japheth [c] ;

may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,

and may Canaan be his [d] slave." 28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Altogether, Noah lived 950 years, and then he died.

Answer 3

AnswerIf we take The Bible literally, everyone alive today is a descendant of Noah. There could not have been a living thing or person on the face of the earth, unless it was in the ark - in spite of evidence that, for example, the Egyptians continued to live through the entire period of Noah's Flood.

Answer 4

When Cain killed Abel, Abel did not have any children. We are told of one child of Cain in Genesis 4:17. His name was Enoch. (This is not the same Enoch who is mentioned in Genesis 5:18.) Cain quite possibly had more children, but as in so many times the Bible is selective when listing all family members. You can see Cain's extended family in Genesis 4: 16-24.
