Cain's Wife?

Where did Cain's wife come from?

it was his sister, or niece.

How do you know that, why did she follow him? I thought that Adam and Eve only had two kids?

Adam and Eve had many kids. In addition to Cain & Abel, they had Seth and "other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4)

Oh I see, thanks.

His sister?! That is revolting!!!

"...I'm a homeless wanderer on Earth and whoever finds me will kill me." -Genesis 4:13

Then he goes to the land of Nod. So now, who is going to kill him if they find him? Adam and Eve? Not likely. Who named the land of Nod? Who are the "sons of God" (not from Adam) vs. the daughters of men (from Adam). Who are the giants (Nephilim)?

1WHEN MEN began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
2The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose.
3Then the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years.
4There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

I think that Jewish mythology goes back further in time than any other religion's mythology, to a time when our ancestors first acquired souls and lived side by side with Neanderthals (Nephilim, sons of God). The big Neanderthal men liked the human little ladies (verse 3). Archeological evidence shows that there where humans with Neanderthal cranial buns (feature on the back of the head) [verse 4]. Since the human women liked human men just as well as Neanderthal men, but nobody liked the big huge Neanderthal women, it was just a matter of time before the Neanderthals disappeared. It took science a century to figure this, when it was there in the Bible all along!! Only very recently did they figure out that the humans didn't just kill off the Neanderthals, but intermarried with them.

I like this a whole lot better than having to insist that incest best with Adam’s kids… That is just sick and disgusting -- totally immoral....

I don't know that I would call it "revolting," "sick," "disgusting," or "immoral," considering that God blessed the marriage of Abraham to his half-sister. Milcah married her uncle. Moses' father married his aunt. Incest was not outlawed until the time of Moses.

interesting link

Sarah was Abrahams half-sister? Where these aunts and uncles blood aunts and blood uncles?

Gen 20:12-- "Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife."


Exodus 6:20-- "Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses."

Gen 11:27: Lot was Haran's son
Gen 11:29: Milcah was Haran's son, therefore, Lot & Milcah are siblings (or at least half-siblings)
Gen 11:26: Abraham, Nahor, and Haran were brothers, therefore Milcah and Nahor were uncle/niece.
