Where did Cains wife and the people of Nod come from?

Want an honest answer?  I don't know.  Nobody knows.\n\nThere are numerous examples throughout the Bible of God separating his spirit from people.  King Saul comes to mind.

After Cain killed Abel, he left.  He wandered to Nod, a land in the East and married a woman from among the people there (Gen 4:16).  Yes, I know it's an internal inconsistancy, but if the story is meant to be taken as a parable then it doesn't matter.  God created people, but people were already there, so perhaps it the whole Adam-from-mud-and-Eve-from-the-rib bit isn't literally true.  I know some people disagree, but I believe God had a plan and created people through evolution.  Science and religion don't have to be at odds.

Good question! \n\nFirst of all, they didn't have any children until they were expelled from the Garden.\n\nIt would SEEM that the brothers and sisters would have to marry each other (ick), since the Bible says this is the only family on Earth.\n\nOf course, when Cain murdered Abel, the Bible also says that he went off to live with people in the land of Nod . . . so where did those people come from?!?!\n\nWhat?  The Bible internally inconsistent?!?!?  Shocking!!!

absolutely NOT!!! there are passages in the Bible that clearly state that when Cain left, he married into another people and he had a son, Enoch. These other people were NOT descendants of Adam and Eve. Otherwise, the entire human race would be the result of incest.

GET REAL\n\nMANKIND ADAM\n\nWe all have read about Cain and Abel (Gen.4:8-17)\nHow Cain slew Abel, and God cursed Cain and drove him out.\nThen Cain said (Gen.4:14) “that every one that findeth me shall slay me”\nWho is Cain worried about?\nThen in (Gen.4:17) And Cain knew his wife\nWhere did Cain find a wife?\n\nThe answer is in the Hebrew text (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).\n\nGen.1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, \nafter our likeness: ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ) \nwith no article means “MANKIND”\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) transliterated is (adam).\n\nGen.2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( את־האדם ) \nwith article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADAM”.\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).\n\nSo on the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.\n\nOn the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADAM.

From what I've read so far, Lilith was created, but she pissed God off, so He tossed her out of Eden and created Eve.  There's a theory that outside of Eden, Lilith mated with the natural beings of earth, creating the race of men that Cain eventually met up with.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob are the 3 Patriarchs.  \n\nAbraham was father of Isaac and Ishmael (Arab nations come from Ishmael). \n\nIsaac was father of Jacob and Esau (Roman Empire is said to come from Esau). \n\nJacob fathered the 12 tribes of Israel which is where the Jewish nation comes from.\n\nAbraham's wife was Sarah (a second wife was Hagar who bore Ishmael).\n\nIsaac's wife Rebbecca (Rebecca bore both Jacob and Esau)\n\nJacob's 2 wives Rachel and Leah (plus 2 more wives Bilhah and Zilpah who fathered some of the 12 tribes as well).\n\nSarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah are the 4 matriarchs.\n\nThere are many stories of all of them mainly in Genesis. They are our role models in their relationship to G-d and desire to do His Will. We also emulate their character traits such as kindness, compassion, etc.  Abraham was the first to turn away from Paganism as he ascertained by looking at the world around him that there must be One G-d, Creator of heavens and earth.  It is debated whether the  Patriarchs and Matriarchs were considered "Jewish" since the Jews did not become a nation till a few hundred  years later upon receiving the Torah at Sinai.  \n\nAlthough I've seen it mentioned several times on this site, it is NOT true that Jews only come from the tribe of Judah, although the root word of Judah and Jews is the same.  Jews today come from Levi, Judah and Benjamin.  The rest of the tribes are considered to be lost and will be reclaimed in future time.\n\nHope this answers your question.

To answer the whole question --the fifth human person named is Enoch, whose parents were "Cain and his wife"  (Genesis 4:17)\n\n(Not to be confused with the Enoch more people may have heard of--a descendant of Seth.  Cain's son is involved in building the first CITY, but the other "walked with God, and he was not, for God took him" -Gen 5:24.   Ironically, the 'Sethian' Enoch is named as the father of Methusaleh, who is considered the 'oldest man' though he died before his father!\n\nIf anyone is interested in word meaning and such, the Hebrew word Enoch --or we could more precisely transcribe at as 'Chenoch' [the 'ch' in each case being pronounced like the ch of Scottish "loch"]-- means 'dedicated, consecrated'.  It is the root of the word Chanukkah/Hanukkah, that is, the [Feast of] Dedication [of the Temple], celebrating the cleansing & reconsecrating of the Temple during the Maccabean revolt, after Antiochus Epiphanes had deliberately desecrated it.)

Yes she was, regardless what so called enlightened people say about Lilith. Eve means, "Mother of all living." All living what? After her kind, Humans, of course. Genesis means "Beginning" it shows the beginning of humans, first sin, first murder and so forth. Don't be led astray by "Gnostic" ideas. Pray for God's guidance.

Hello BibleGuy the answer is simple. It is clearly writen. Gen 5:1-2, Gen 1:26-28.  Cain wife was from Adam, not His father, she was not His sister, Adam was the name of those God created in the Begining and called their name Adam, this is not talking about Adam & Eve who where in the Garden. Adam was the Name of those God created and 1 of Them He chose and Place in the Garden, thus showing His way even from the Begining chosing from Mankind (Adam) to guide and lead the others in the way.  Adam was not just One person but many. Not just One color.  If you like to know more contack me at PastorDoulos@yahoo.com

Some one asked a very similar question to yours a couple of days ago, questioning where Cain "found" his wife, however the so called "scholars" answered with the following :\n\n\n1. He married his sister\n2. There were other people on earth before God created Adam & Eve (which insinuates that some of us are not descendents of Adam & Eve and are therefore not created by God)\n3. The story is just metaphorical.\n\nThere are many other variations to the story and no "one" common belief among the biblical scholars. Which just goes to show that the story is not true. How could it be when the first form of written communication took place thousands of years after the Adam and Eve era? That would mean that the "story" was verbally communicated from generation to generation until it could be documented.

I could never figure out how Cain found his wife.  When I read it he was the only one left after he killed Abel, not counting Adam and Eve.   Seth was born later, so then there would have been Adam and Eve, Cain and little brother Seth, and, of course, dead Abel. So where in hell did Cain find his wife...??\n\nI've been stressing out on this for years.

Adam lived 930 years (Gen 5:5)\n\nThey did not meet any people after the expulsion.  If you are refering to Cain "knowing" his wife after he was sent away.  "know" is a euphemism used in the Bible for having sex.  He already had a wife and probably children when he left.  His wife being one of his sisters or cousins.  \n\nFor more clarification visit this site.\n\nhttp://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/tools/cains_wife.asp
