HAKIZIMANA Maurice

According to the Bible,Cain, the eldest child of the first human couple, married one of his sisters or another close female relative. This conclusion may be drawn by considering what the Bible says about Cain and his family.

Note the following

(1) All humans descended from Adam and Eve. 

God “made out of one man [Adam] every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth.” (Acts 17:26) Adam’s wife, Eve, became “the mother of everyone living.” (Genesis 3:​20) Therefore, Cain must have married a fellow descendant of Adam and Eve.

(2) Adam and Eve had other children

Cain and his brother Abel were the first of a number of children born to Eve. (Genesis 4:​1, 2) When Cain was banished for killing his brother, he complained: “Anyone who finds me will certainly kill me.” (Genesis 4:​14) Of whom was Cain afraid? The Bible says that Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) Evidently, these other descendants of Adam and Eve could have posed a threat to Cain.

(3)Early in human history, marrying a sister or one’s relative was not uncommon.

 The faithful man Abraham, for example, married his half sister. (Genesis 20:12) The first prohibitions against such marriage appeared in the Mosaic Law, which was codified centuries after Cain’s day. (Leviticus 18:​9, 12, 13) It seems that children born to close relatives back then were not as prone to birth defects as they are today.

  1. Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  2. The core of your writing while appearing agreeable initially, did not really work very well with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in logic and you would do well to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.

  3. Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

  6. You need to use to multiple school, in case your teen is not accepted to his or her top alternative, or in case your teen is accepted but the tuition at the school is just too high for you to contemplate, even with financial aid.
