cain's wife?

[osprey]

In Genesis, God sends Cain into The Land of Nod and there he meets his wife? Where the heck did she come from? Was there another family ithere and if so who created them?

[LotusEater]

Perhaps they were a side-line: the Creator was moon-lighting on his supposed Day Of Rest (!)

[Lonnie]

Cain went into the land of Nod to get her, being that the only people around after the murder, was Adam, Eve, and Cain, maybe God created her, just for Cain, and don't ask where the land of Nod is, or maybe there's a theologian around who could explain.

[dot.hawkes]

She was an eastender according to the Bible, cos the land of Nod is East of Eden.

and you know how farfetched them script writers are.

The bible just says that God created Adam and Eve first, I'm pretty sure it doesnt say they were the only people he created! well, after they left the Garden of eden, he might have made loads of people,
Or there is the storry of Lillith. She was meant to be Adams first wife but she did something wrong ( dont know what but she was a baddun) and she apparently went off and had hundreds of children!

[Lonnie]

Your right mycats, Lilleth went off to become the queen of the Demons.

I know this is a bit late, but she was his sister! gross but true! Adam and Eve had a lot of children and they all reproduced with each other!

[osprey]

caz21 - how do you know this? I'd be interested to find out where you got this information.

In Assyrian-Babylonian mythology, Lilith / Lilitu (�wind spirit�) was a ravenous sexual entrepreneur. In legend, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. One version is that she was created as Adam's Siamese twin, another is that she was made from filth. Either way, Lilith demanded equality with Adam. Its a long story ..............

[caz21]

Its in the bible!
Genesis 4:17
And Cain's wife [one of Adam's offspring] became pregnant and bore Enoch.


"It would have been possible for Adam and Eve, in the more than 100 years he estimates may have elapsed since their union, to have had over 32,000 descendants at the time Cain went to Nod, all of them having sprung from Cain and Abel, who married their sisters"

In biblical times they lived hundreds of years, I think Abraham lived to be 700 and some!

[caz21]

P.S There is no lileth mentioned in the bible!

The Land of Nod is a tiny village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, near Holme upon Spalding Moor.
As Yorkshire is also "God's own County" it must mean that Genesis happened in England!

cax21 while Lilith is not mentioned in the bible today,- Lilith's name is not included in the creation story of the Torah but she appears in several midrashic texts.the most popular history told views Lilith as the first wife of Adam. According to the "first Eve" story Lilith was created by God from dust and placed to live in the garden with Adam until problems arose between Adam and Lilith when Adam tried to exercise dominance over Lilith. One story tells that Lilith refused to lay beneath Adam during sex. She believed they were created equal, both from the dust of the earth, thus she should not have to lay beneath him. After Adam disagreed, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden to gain her independence

Adam and Eve were created perfect in every way. Their children would also, no doubt, be born physically and genetically perfect. Therefore, Cain's wife could be one of his sisters with no problems. Likewise, many of Adam and Eve's children would have inter-married with no problems. (dont fancy marrying my brother of course eeew)
