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.

You want to read Job 14 now. It says, "Man that is borned of woman is of a few days and full of trouble." Is that right? "He cometh up like the flower, he's cut down and...

I got a note today, said, "Could you prove that the Assemblies of God started in Genesis?" I don't know about the organization, but the spirit that was in the Assemblies of God started in Genesis. Exactly right. And all the other borned-again churches started in Genesis. And all the supposed-to-be churches, just nominal churches, they started in Genesis. And they both was represented in the first two sons, both Cain and Abel. Cain received the mark of the beast and was sent away. We realize that the serpent, which...

Then, we find out that in Eden, God took and marked Cain, and sent him out. But Seth stayed in the presence of God, and God give him his wife. That's the way of the true church. It stayed in the presence of God. Oh, I wish I could bring Paul Boyd, the historian, up here. By the way, he's been waiting for three years for one of the private interviews. They send at home ... they come from Asia, from Africa, from India, from everywhere---wait for years for them interviews. When they come in on that, we sit there until...

Oh, living under the Holy Spirit... Remember, Seth got his wife. God must have give him his wife. He stayed with God. And now, the believer that will stay with the Bible, and stay with God, then he will... The true church will be the bride of Jesus Christ. The other will have a bride of the world, just anything. We found out last night. And also we read there about where Cain and Abel, where they both began. And then we brought it over into Babylon, how Babylon appeared in Genesis and then the middle of the Bible,...
