Who Was Cain's Wife?
1) Direct Answer
Cain married his sister—one of the daughters of Adam and Eve.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says Adam “begat sons and daughters” (Genesis 5:4). Those daughters are not named, but they were there.
- Eve is called “the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20). So every human—including Cain’s wife—came from Adam and Eve.
- Later God forbade close-kin marriages (Leviticus 18), but that law came after the early generations.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- In the beginning there was only one man and one woman. If Cain had a wife, she had to come from that same family.
- If his wife came from another people, then Eve would not be the mother of all living. That would contradict the Scripture.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, Cain didn’t find a different race; he took a sister. That’s how the human family multiplied at the start. The Bible keeps it simple.

And when the sleeping virgin went out, which had already received the mark of the beast... You say, "Mark of the beast, that... ?" Yes, indeedy. So did Cain receive the mark, and went out. What was it? When the Baptist church, when the Pentecostal church, when the Presbyterian church took on the mark of the beast instead of receiving the Holy Ghost, they went out from God and made them an organization. What did they do? Took them a false wife, a false wife, of the world---brought in painted-up Jezebels, and everyth...
