Hi Dr Martin.

We get that question a lot.

The same question can be asked about Seth.

If it was an issue with Cain, Seth would have had the same issue!

Adam and Eve was told to multiply the earth.

We don't know how many siblings they had by the time Cain left from the presence of the LORD.

It seems in Genesis 4:14 there were other siblings already born.

"Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that EVERY ONE THAT FINDETH ME SHALL SLAY ME."

The key to the controversy is in Genesis 4:16-17 "And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, AND DWELT IN THE LAND OF NOD, on the east of Eden.

AND CAIN KNEW HIS WIFE; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch."

An often asked question is did Cain get his wife from the land of Nod?

The scripture doesn't say that.

It says

"And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod and Cain knew his wife.

It appears Cain was already with a wife BEFORE he went out from the presence of the LORD.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

GOD created: Male & female Genesis 1:26,27,

Interesting "Adam" transliteration, means mankind Genesis 5:2,

Hopefully these are helpful
