Go ahead and post a supposed "contradiction" and I'll tell you how it isn't a contradiction. This should be fun.

Cain married his sister (or possibly a niece). The Bible says Adam "begot sons and daughters" (Gen 5:4). In fact, since Adam lived 930 years (Gen 5:5), he had plenty of time for plenty of children! Cain could have married one of his many sisters, or even a niece, if he married after his brothers and sisters had grown daughters. In that case, of course, one of his brothers would have married a sister, which was not forbidden until much later (Lev. 18:9)

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; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: Why are Cain and Abel not mentioned here? This is a list of the GENERATIONS of Adam, Cain should be mentioned first(Gen 4:1). In fact, neither Cain nor Abel are mentioned in this mythological genealogy. Good support for Welhausen I'd say. ------------------

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it is possible that Cain married his sister or a niece? And that therefore the question about who Cain married is not evidence either way for Biblical accuracy? --Percy

"Behold, You have put me forth this day upon the faces of the ground; and from Your faces shall I be hidden; and I shall be shaken and wandering in the earth; and it shall become, (that) all finding me shall kill me."
And god said to him, "Therefore, any killing Cain shall suffer vengeance seven(fold)." And god set a sign upon Cain, that all finding him may not kill him. i'm curious....if there are only 3 people left...cain.adam,and eve why talk as if there are others.... and please...don't say that it pertains to his brothers and sisters....they weren't born yet....and how would they know what the mark stood for... explain that...how would anyone know what that mark on cain stood for...it would be the same as you having a mark on you...i wouldn't know if it was a birth mark or scar....and don't say devine influence because his family were not scribes..hence they could not interpret god's influence...at least that what you thumpers say...

What is the contradiction here, as the Bible doesn't specify who Cain's wife was, how can there be a contradiction to explain?
PS, Why aren't Cain and Abel listed in Adam's generations? ------------------

BRIAN
you are kinda touching on what i and others are saying... the bible says that adam and eve were the first two people on earth...this is simple plain english...it's not veague or dose it contain any ambiguity...but the bible as you stated was not clear on where cain's wife came from...but yet to fill in the holes...christians infer that his wife was his kin folk...even though the bible did not and dose not say this... in it's self they prove the point that people interpret and see the bible in different ways.. also...the bible dose not speak of adam and eve as having sex untile they were kicked out of the garden...and when the bible dose mention it...it is the birth of able;then cain... so if god said be fruitful and mulitply how was this possible in the garden of eden.....if they were having sex...why dosen't the bible mention it...as it dose when they are expelled...

I've run into this one before, and it seems to me that the first account of creation in Gen 1, is a detailed account of the creation. Where as the account in Gen 2, is a summarized account of the creation. I'll have to go read it again, but I looked into this when I first came onto this forum, it was one of John's first attacks.
