    Eve had two sons. Cain found a wife “somewhere”. Cain was also marked so no one would kill him, but the three other people known to exist were his parents and dead brother.

      Cain found a wife in the Land of Nod. It’s never explained where those people came from.

        Genesis 5:4. Eve had three named sons (Cain, Abel and Seth), but also other sons and daughters. That would be where Cain found his wife.

          But he was cursed and went East, presumably to another tribe? Need to read Genisis again.

          LOL, the two creation myths confused me as well. That’s another interesting tale to take apart.
