Awan was the second daughter of Adam and Eve. That means she was also her sister

Not sure exactly of her name, wht i do kno is she was an amazing woman hand made and picked by God. Psalms 139:13 you knit me together I’m my mother’s womb. Romans 11:29 for the gifts and calling of God are with out repentance. Matthew 7:9-11 how much more will your father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him. She would have been a proverbs 31:10-31 a good woman is hard to fine and worth far more than then diamonds. Proverbs 12:4 she would have been the crown of her husband.

The Bible is not a science book nor a history book. There were other humans on the earth, not of Adam and Eve. Why and how is not important, if God wanted us to know he would have given us an explanation. The important part is Cain's murder and how sin infected mankind.

I propose that the story of Genesis is not exhaustive of human history at that time and that when the Bible talks about sons and daughters it might not be talking about next of kin descendents

Was Cain a humanoid hybrid? Why weren’t future descendants not supposed to Marry or have children with the Canaanite’s???

God, I snap my fingers and create another woman, or at least that's what I want to believe.

The only reference to Cain's wife in the Bible is in Genesis 4:17, which says, "And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch"

The Bible does not explicitly say who Cain's wife was. The only possible answer is that Cain's wife was his sister or niece or great-niece, etc. Since Adam and Eve were the first humans, their children had no choice but to marry each other. The laws against marrying family members were created yet and at the time it wasn't forbidden for close-relative marriage until the time of Moses.

@Just Me Hayley Yep. And their genes were still close to perfect so the probability of genetic problems arising was low. Hence why they could marry within the family.

@Tony did the Bible say only these children, just because the Bible names three doesn’t mean that there weren’t others. They were told to fill the earth, seems like disobedience if they stopped at 3.
