Early Beggatings
In the beginning there was Adam:
Then came Eve:
Then the begatting began:
But Cain was a bad boy:
That, by my count, leaves three people on earth, Adam, Eve and Cain. But, soon comes the third generation of man:
Where exactly, it would seem logical to ask, did Cain find a woman to know?
Just curious.
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Genesis (2:7)
Then came Eve:
"And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. (Genesis 2:21-22)
Then the begatting began:
"Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD."
"Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel." (Genesis 4:1-2)
But Cain was a bad boy:
Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Genesis (4:8)
That, by my count, leaves three people on earth, Adam, Eve and Cain. But, soon comes the third generation of man:
"And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch." (Genesis 4:17)
Where exactly, it would seem logical to ask, did Cain find a woman to know?
Just curious.
