3066.—Cain's Marriage.—N. J. E.
By N. J. E.
As to whether Cain was married when he went to the land of Nod or not we do not know. His wife was at least his sister. Many years elapsed after his slaying of Abel evidently before he married his wife. Great spaces of time are covered sometimes in a few verses of Scripture. The land of Nod was immediately East of Eden, adjoining. Whether Adam’s descendants had scattered into that land, or whether they still remained on other sides of Eden, we know not. It is really immaterial whether they had found a place in the land of Nod or in some other section of the earth at that time. The Lord does not reveal anything to satisfy our curiosity. He tells us that Cain was married, and then gives us some of the descendants of Cain, in order that we may see just how wickedness continued and in what it resulted.
