Q: Where did cities and other people come from? Where did Cain’s wife come from? I assume
she wasn’t his sister.
Since the patriarchs lived hundreds of years, it is conceivable that Adam and Eve could have had a
number of other children and grandchildren not mentioned in the text. See Genesis 5:4.
Also is the possibility that Adam and Eve are only one couple specifically created after the general
creation of mankind in Genesis 1. Genesis 4:14 seems to indicate this possibility.
Intriguingly, the city considered by archeologists to be one of the oldest in Mesopotamia has as its
oldest attested name UNUG (Genesis 4:14).
