And the story was written even before Adam and Eve bore another child in the person of Seth and we all know that Seth is a boy. The problem here is that the author had already written the story about Cain marrying a female when in fact there was no other woman during that particular period of time but Eve. The only problem i see in the book of Genesis particularly the story of Cain having known a wife is the "SEQUENCE OF EVENTS." The story of Cain marrying a woman should have been written after which Adam and Eve bore female children. I believe that Cain's wife was his own sister. So, from this point of view, God has favored Abel in both marriage AND sacrifice.įrom Folklore & Mythology Electronic Texts: various versions of the story of Cain & Abel That is because there is no other option at this point. Genesis, by the way, has no problems with incest, specifically brothers an sisters marrying. And this is where the story takes an interesting turn. This can be seen in the Book of Jubilees.

Cain then establishes the first city, naming it after his son, builds a house, and lives there until it collapses on him, killing him in the same year that Adam dies.įrom The Book of Jubilees, Chapter 4 at Sacred Texts:Īnd Cain took ’Âwân his sister to be his wife and she bare him Enoch at the close of the fourth jubilee. The Targumim, rabbinic sources, and later speculations supplemented background details for the daughters of Adam and Eve. Such exegesis of Genesis 4 introduced Cain's wife as being his sister, a concept that has been accepted for at least 1800 years. This can be seen with Jubilees 4 which narrates that Cain settled down and married his sister Awan, who bore his first son, the first Enoch, approximately 196 years after the creation of Adam. Wikipedia goes further and names the sister: According to this reasoning, Cain would have married his sister-one of Abel’s twin sisters no less, according to the Genesis Rabbah. Who did Cain marry? Mary Joan Winn Leith first explores the traditional Jewish and Christian answers that contend that the wife of Cain was another daughter of Adam and Eve. Nevertheless, her identity is still worth investigating. Given that the wife of Cain is only mentioned once in the Old Testament, she would not be counted among the famous women in Genesis.
