(KJV) Genesis 4:17

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

CAIN … HIS WIFE / GENESIS 4:17

Adam and Eve had other sons and daughter (Genesis 5:4). It is very probable that Cain’s wife was one of his sisters. Because this was the first and only family line at this time, such a relationship between a brother and sister would have been necessary in order to continue to reproduce and populate the earth. As more people were born, however, the practice of marrying one’s biological sibling (brother or sister) was forbidden (Leviticus 18:6, 9).
