Where did Adam and Eve's sons get their wives? No: 924 - Worldwide Church of God - 1956

Worldwide Church of God

This is one of the most common questions we receive. If Adam was the first man, directly created by God, and Eve the first woman, also a direct creation, and only three sons are mentioned - Cain, Abel, and Seth, it is but natural that many ask: "Where then, did Cain get his wife?" Did Cain have a wife? Yes, it is written in Genesis 4:17: "And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch..." Cain had a wife, and a son. For that matter, where did Seth get a wife? Seth is a direct ancestor of Noah, of Abraham, of David, and of Christ. So Seth, as well as Cain, must have had a wife. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
