We all know the story of Cain killing Abel, but where did Cain find his wife after that? How many people were on the Earth at this point and how did they get there?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through another common question that arises from the narrative of Genesis to discuss how the sons of Adam got their wives. We look through how God ordained marriage between siblings and how that changed by the time of the Law of Moses, as well as some biological evidence of why God outlaws incest today. We hope this podcast helps you better understand the events of Genesis in a way that strengthens your faith!
