I had a brain freeze as I read the biblical story of Cain & Abel. For after Cain kills Abel he is sent away and marries a wife in a different town with different people but the bible only shows that his parents Adam and Eve only have Cain and Abel so where did his wife and the other people come from and why this confusion so early in the bible? Why doesn’t the bible give a clear lineage of all the peoples.
If we are to believe the bible as it is written then I believe we must assume Adam and Eve had other children during the time of Cain and Abel which aren’t named directly in the good book but why? In life we can become consumed with small items that we believe are so significant that they’ll change our whole life and the life of others but our plans may not be G-D’s plans. For G-D knows when our name will truly be called and just like those in the good book they may happen at a time of our youth or when we appear old and gray. So we should live each day as if that will be the day our named and not dwell to much on our past glories or failures.
