When I read Genesis chapter four, I notice that Cain and Seth both have wives. Where did these women come from?
Sisters. They had purer dna than we do now.When I read Genesis chapter four, I notice that Cain and Seth both have wives. Where did these women come from?
Yes, but Cain got married before Seth was born, right?After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters. (Genesis 5:4 NLT)
Other sons and daughters were not all mentioned by name. You can have a lot of children over 800 years.
Are you asking if Cain got married before Seth got married, or if Cain got married before Seth's birth?Yes, but Cain got married before Seth, right?

I wonder what the reply would have been before DNA was discovered?Sisters. They had purer dna than we do now.

(Gen 5:3 ESV) When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.
Now, I'm sure you can have a ton of children in 130 years, but did they? I read it and unless I skipped over a verse it doesn't say they had any children before Cain, or any more children before Cain was banished.

I edited my post because I needed to add the verse to complete my thought.
Incest would probably be the only answer. Sorry your thread got locked, by the way.I wonder what the reply would have been before DNA was discovered?
Like I said earlier, they're not all mentioned by name and there is not a clear timeline that I can see.
Personally, I would've bummed out if Adam and Eve were my biological parents and I got left out of the bible. I believe that the significant players are referred to by name and "other sons and daughters" refers to other children.
I wrapped my head around this years ago along with who would murder Cain, my conclusion was they had many children that aren't mentioned by name. I'm no bible scholar but "other sons and daughters" is my best answer.

If you ever want to discuss it just shoot me a PM. I'm pretty much always around.It's no big loss in the grand scheme of things. I can always start Gen V2 where I left off.
Siblings can be married and have perfectly normal children... but, there is a strong chance of deformation which is why it's a taboo today. Abraham and Sarah had the same father but different mothers. When God made Adam and Eve their dna surely was better than what we have now. It's just an idea.I wonder what the reply would have been before DNA was discovered?
