Discuss Genesis 5 Page 11

This verse says Cain knew his wife and she bore Enoch. It doesn't say Adam's wife nor Eve.
Chapter 5: 3 And Adam......begat....Seth. Verse 7 tells that Seth begat Enos
Verse 9 says Enos begat Cainan
verse 12 Says Cainan begat Mahalaleel
verse 16 says Mahalaleel begat Jared
verse 18 Says Jared begat Enoch
These are two different Enochs

This was about the time transition from Adam to Noah according to the number of years of life they lived.

There are two men named Enoch. Eve didn't give birth to either of them. One was the son of Cain. The other was the son of Jared. Hope that helps :)

In Genesis chapter 4 verse 17, Eve gave birth to Enoch. So in Genesis Chapter 5 verse 18 says Jared lived one hundred sixty two years and became the father of Enoch. I am a little confused here. Can you shed some light on this? Thank you .

Seth

In the land of NOD. Gen4:16

Who was the second son of Adam

If you look at chapte 3 verse 16 when God was giving punishment for eating the apple. He told Eve He would greatly multiply her giving birth..in order to multiply one must have already experienced it. Adam and Eve where not alone in the Garden of Eden. what was birthed in the Garden of Eden was pure and Holy. look at Adams Geneology. Seth is first The first born out of the Garden.Not Cain Or Able

An answer to where Cain got his wife: In Genesis it says that Eve is the mother of all living.

Hi Simon kariithi muthee.
The wife to Cain is not expressly stated in the Bible. He must have married a sister or niece or something like that.

Hi Mis,
I believe that he must have married his sister. And because, many times the bible does not talk ladies in genealogies, I believe Adam had daughters born to Adam. It's the simplest way I can explain it. What do think?

I thought the Bible doesn't give Cains geaneology as he was not in the bloodline is David - he was not Adam's offspring. Only Able was truest blood. Cain was of the evil seed.

Hard to follow

Hard to follow. How did Cain find a wife were they siblings

OOPS. Gina; about Sarah. I meant to say she was Abraham's father's, daughter.

Gina, Genesis 20:12 tells us that Sarah was Abraham's half sister. She was Abraham's daughter but not the daughter of Abraham's mother.

Gina, Genesis 4:16-17; It does not say that Cain found his wife after he was exiled. He took his wife with him. His wife was also his sister. There was no other people that existed at the time besides Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel and Adams many other children.

Is there anywhere in the binble where cains wiife's name is mentioned?

Betsy, Cain's wife was also his sister. Adam and Eve were the only man and woman living.
Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."
Read Genesis 6:1-2

If Adam an eve were the first two humans an had Cain an able how did Cain find a wife after being exiled

In all the generations the bible mentioned , it only mentioned, Enoch walked with God and Noah found favour in the Lord's eyes, Noah was a righteous man. Amazing for him and his family and everything they must've gone through while building the ark, and his persistance, faith in all the years it took to build the ark and obedience.

I thought I had a fairly fair understanding of The Bible, but after some research I learned that there is a eternal amount of knowledge in these 32 verses and that just let me know I'm not spending enough time in Bible study and research....Lord Please Help me to be a better Soldier for you....

Also concerning the fact that Noah built the ArK at the Lord's command to provide generations of the human race after the flood.

I believe they lived longer due to being created perfect. Also, just maybe as time passed the nature of earth started dying as well and sicknesses started shortening lives a little over time.

God rewarded Enoch for his absolute faithfulness by walking with God in truth and in integrity and honesty. In short he pleased God all of the times he lived. He was not corrupted! So God took him away whole Body, Soul and Spirit

Interesting math work: Adam was around to see Methuselah 's day, but not Lamech 's and 1656 years from Adam 's day until the great flood started... On that note: Methuselah was 969 years old his death age in the year of the flood--I wonder if he died with the flood? He would have been the only one mentioned in here old enough to have possibly seen the flood, with the notable exceptions of Noah and his children.

It does not say they didnt die, flesh and blood can not enter Heaven. I think they went to Paradice, Why?because Jesus had to be the first. He ha Preminance over every one, also his blood had to be sprinkled on the mercy seat. What do you think? God Bless Tommy P

THE THING OF THIS WORLD HAS NOT AGAIN ALOW PEOPLE TO DEPEND ON GOD THE MAKER OF ALL THING, AND BLESS US AS HE BLESSED ADAM AND EVE.

When Enoch begot Methuselah, he began to observe how helpless a child could be without a primary care-giver. As baby Methuselah was tenderly handled, the father, Enoch began to understand what it means to have our heavenly Father who has our best as His interest. He does not only care, He saves.

the knowledge that Enoch was the seventh generation and was translated lives me with the urge to know that 7 the perfect number of God was Enoch
