Did Cain get married before he killed his brother?

We are not told that, so we can only speculate, based on the chronology in the book of Genesis. After the killing of Abel, there was a curse placed on Cain by God. By request, to protect him from further torture and murder, God placed a sign (mark) on Cain, promising that anyone who killed him would receive of the curse sevenfold. After leaving the presence of God, it is said that Cain went east of Eden and settled in the land of Nod. It is likely there he married his wife, although he may have known her from childhood since everyone was from the same family.

Where did Cain's wife come from in the land of Nod?

Your question presupposes that Cain's wife came from the land of Nod. However, the Bible doesn't say that Cain's wife came from the land of Nod. What the bible says about the land of Nod, Genesis 4:16, doesn't mention Cain's wife--only that Cain went to live in the Land of Nod. What the bible says about Cain's wife, Genesis 4:17, doesn't mention the land of Nod, only that Cain and his wife had a son named Enoch, and built a city named after him. However, the question of where Cain found a wife can be answered logically and scripturally. From scripture, Genesis 1-5, we find that Adam was the first man created, that a woman was then created and named Eve, that Adam and Eve had many children including Cain, and that Eve was the mother of all living. Given that Eve was the mother of all living, she was therefore the mother of Cain's wife, who would therefore have also been Cain's sister. A side note is that no prohibition on sibling marriage appears until later in the law, and, indeed, given that there was one and only one family in existence, for that family to multiply and populate the world would have required marriage that by later standards would have been seen as incestuous.


In the Bible after Cain is forced to wander who and where did all of these people that he meets come from?

Another answer from our community:What people? The only names mentioned in the verses in question (in Genesis ch.4) are Cain's descendants. Aside from them and Cain's parents and siblings, no one else is mentioned.As for Cain's wife, he had no choice but to take a sister to wife. (The fact that Cain had siblings including sisters is mentioned in Genesis 5:4.)
