Where Exactly Did Cain Find His Wife? — Dr. Michael Heiser

In a discussion on biblical interpretation, scholar Dr. Michael Heiser critiques fringe doctrines like Yahweh fathering Cain via Genesis 4:1 ("Adam knew Eve... I have gotten a man with the Lord"), explaining Eve's Hebrew verb qanah reflects divine aid in childbirth (as with Hannah), not sex with God, amid ancient maternal risks—clearly Adam is the father. These ideas exploded in 18th-19th centuries post-Age of Discovery, when Europeans forced Scripture to explain "other races" via pre-/co-Adamic theories, serpent-seed lines (Eve/serpent sex), and racial hierarchies (whites as Adam's closest heirs), fueling slavery despite non-sinister origins (Adam's Ancestors traces this). Genesis 4's Cain fearing killers and building a city suggests others (or time gaps for Adam/Eve's progeny); Heiser rejects serpent seed as metaphorical (John 8:44), urges reading Bible as ancient Mediterranean text (not global science), notes Genesis 1-11's Babylonian polemics/Israel-Adam typology (both "sons of God" elected from masses), and prioritizes clear gospel over speculative minors God left vague. #Cain #Genesis #Heiser #PreAdamite #SerpentSeed #Races #Adam #Eve #Origins #Hebrew #Exegesis #CoAdamite #Nations #Ancient #Yahweh #Racial #Interpretation #Ambiguity #Polemic
