Kane's spouse?

[EJV]

Who was Kane's (Adam and Eve's first born) spouse?

[pamnez]

I know Cain had a son called Enoch.  I seem to remember at some time, reading that Cain married his sister Luluwa but I can't be 100% sure.

[Golem]

"And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bare Enoch; and he builded a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch."

Genesis 4 v 16-17

The bible doesn't mention Cain's wife by name.

The probably truthful answer is that women were not really deemed important enough to mention in Biblical times, so her name is lost to us. If you read the bible you'll see loads of pages of "begats" but they never mention the women - presumably in those days men did the childbearing? I think not!

The Talmud says that Cain and Abel were both born with twin sisters, who married the other brother. The source is Rasgi - Genesis 4:1.

If you check out this site, you will get the "christian/biblical" answer:

There's a lot of reference material quoted at the end, so persevere with it if you're really interested.

I guess you make up your own mind!

This site has an online copy of the second book of Adam and Eve, which mentions Cain marrying his sister Luluwa (chapter 1 v 6).

Don't know about the historical accuracy of this document, but maybe other ABers do!
