Others Besides Adam and Eve / Cain’s Wife
If one disagrees, please, feel free to share further biblical insight that we may all learn.
Genesis 2:20: And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
There were no other people alive at the time. If there were other people, then surely there would have been at least one woman for Adam.
Genesis 2:23: And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Eve, Woman, was made from Man. Which man? Adam. So, there were no women before Eve.
Genesis 3:20: And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Notice, Eve is the mother of all living. Again, she was the first woman (Genesis 3:20), so that makes her the first woman to give birth (Genesis 4:1) and therefore the mother of us all.
Genesis 3:22: And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Who is “the man”? Adam (Genesis 2:15-19).
Genesis 5:1: This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Notice “God created man in the likeness of God.” This is only said of Adam in Genesis 1:27. So, if there were other people (mankind) at the time, they would not be “created…in the likeness of God”.
Genesis 5:2: Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Now, we see God created “male and female” and “called their name Adam.” With this said, take note of these facts:
· “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27) But, it only mentions Adam. Yet, Adam is the man (Genesis 2:15-19).
· Genesis 2:4 starts over with “These are the generations of the heavens…” explaining Genesis 1 further.
· Note that “God formed man of the dust of the ground” in Genesis 2:7.
· Now note that “the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Genesis 2:22) Notice that the woman (Eve) was made from the man (Adam) and not of the ground as the man (Adam) was. That is why is says here in Genesis 5:2, “and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
Deuteronomy 32:8: When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
Again, Adam, the first man, is mentioned. Why not anyone else if there was another linage besides the man, Adam, living outside of the garden?
Chronicles 1:1: Adam, Sheth, Enosh,
Again, Adam is mentioned as the first of all mankind.
Luke 3:38: Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Again, Adam is directly related as the first man, formed by God.
1 Corinthians 15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Notice that all mankind are sinners (Romans 3:23), because of the sin of Adam. If there were people outside of the garden – they would not be held to this sin or death, nor would they have a Savior in Christ (Romans 6:23). We are all born of Adam; therefore we are all born sinners and die. By accepting Christ as Savior we are then born of the Spirit and are made alive in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Clearly, Adam was the first man – and the last Adam, the quickening spirit, is Christ.
There is NO PROOF of any other mankind creation ANYWHERE in Scripture.
So where did Cain get his wife?
Cain married his sister.
When did it become a sin to marry your sister?
There was no law given in Genesis 4. I do not believe one was given until Leviticus 18.
