Reply to comment by Peacemkr45 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
>there is no adequate explanation of the people of Nod. Adam and eve created 2 offspring, Cain and Abel; Both males. There is no other mention of any other people on the planet, just those 4 people
You're wrong. Not only does Genesis say that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters, it specifically mentions a son named Seth.
It doesn't mention when those other children were born or what happened to them, only that that the first two children were Cain and Abel. And it clearly says that Eve is the mother of mankind in general so the other people are all the descendants of Adam and Eve.
I'm sure the zealots love it when someone who doesn't know what the Bible says and doesn't believe in it, tries to share his "knowledge."
