Reply to comment by Dawnawaken92 in TIL 'The Land of Nod' is originally a biblical reference of a sort of purgatory where Cain was exiled after murdering Abel -- rather than a 'dreamland' sleepytime dealie as it is now colloquially known. by quicxly
No, it only says that he built a city there
17 Cain made love to his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was building a city, and he named it Enoch after his son.

I can only assume his wife was his sister too since uh...not a lot of selection to choose from.

yea. some people say that cains wife and the people he was afraid were going to kill him were all the future sons and daughters that adam and eve had. people back then lived a long time. future sons and daughters would know what cain had done and why he was living out there. genesis condenses lots of history and its probably not exhaustive.

Actually there was. Adam and Eve were the first humans their god made, not the only ones made
