Instagram celebrity, Tunde Ednut asked to know where the Bible character Cain got his wife from and Reno Omokri came to the rescue by diligently answering the question.

Not mentioned in the Bible is the names of the other people on Earth after mentioning Adam, Eve and Cain who killed his brother Abel.

This led to Tunde Ednut wondering how and where Cain got his wife from.

In response, Reno Omokri who recently advised against obeying pastors above your spouse wrote:

“Scripture NEVER said that there were only 4 people on Earth at the time Cain killed Abel. That is false. You need to understand that Hebrew and Ethiopic theology only kept a lineage of MALE ancestry. They did not keep a lineage of FEMALE ancestry. So, all you will read in Genesis 4 and 5 are the male birth. Adam and Eve and their children had female children, but they were not listed. As proof, I will now list below the genealogy from Adam to Noah found in Genesis chapters 4-5.

“Adam lived for 930 years. His son Seth, lived for 912 years. Seth’s son, Enosh lived for 905 years. Enosh’ son, Kenan, lived for 910 years. Kenan’s son, Mahalalel, lived for 895 years. Mahalalel’s son, Jared, lived for 962 years. Jared’s son, Enoch, lived for 365 years, but never died. He was taken to heaven, alive. Enoch’s son, Methuselah, lived for 969 years (the man with the longest lifespan ever). Methuselah’s son, Lamech, lived for 777 years. Lamech was the father of Noah. Noah lived to be 950 years. You can find these information in Genesis chapter 5.

“You will notice that there were no females listed above. Does that mean that Adam and Eve had only sons? That is biologically impossible. In human reproduction, people give birth to both females and males. It is a scientific fact.
If you take a look at the genealogy of Christ listed in Matthew chapter 1, you will not see any females listed (except Ruth, listed as the wife of Boaz, to fulfil prophecy). If you read the second genealogy of Christ, traced through His mother, Mary, in Luke chapter 3, even Mary herself is not mentioned. Only her male ancestors are mentioned.

“I have been to Ethiopia 7 times, and went to the ancient zagwe towns of Lalibela, and Gondar, and they do the same thing. I went to Israel and Palestine to understand these issues myself, and I am not giving you second-hand information.

“In those days, people married their sisters. For example, Sarah was Abraham’s sister (Genesis 20:12). Adam and Eve had daughters. Cain obviously married his sister, as did the other children and grandchildren of Adam and Eve.

“There is no discrepancy. Scripture (not The Bible) is accurate.”
