The Hebrew paragraph divisions:

Gen 4:1-26 {s} Exile from family is the consequence of sin

One of the most common questions Bible readers have, is Where did Cain get his wife? The biblical answer is, she was a descendant of Adam and Eve, just as he was – a sister or niece. Abraham married his half-sister Sarah; Isaac married a cousin; as well as Jacob.

Intermarriage was not prohibited until the generation of Moses (Lev 18). By then, genetic mutations were more likely to be expressed by the offspring of close relations.

How many have read or seen a reference to the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages of history in books or documentaries?

The three-age system of archaeology divides human technological prehistory into three periods: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. The Stone Age refers to tools made of stone or bone, a period lasting 3.4 million years, and ended between 8700 BC and 2000 BC with the advent of metalworking. The Bronze Age is characterized by the use of bronze, proto-writing, and other early features of urban civilization. The Iron Age refers to a period of time in the prehistory and protohistory of the Old World when the dominant toolmaking material was iron. It is commonly preceded by the Bronze Age in Europe and Asia and the Stone Age in Africa, with exceptions. Ancient iron production did not become widespread until the ability to smelt iron ore, and remove impurities were developed. The start of the Iron Age proper is considered by many to fall between around 1200 BC and 600 BC, depending on the region.

But today we learn that the first urban civilization was built by Cain, which he named Enoch after his son. He could no longer till the ground for food, so his city was the first commercial center where food producers could trade their food for wares. Urban civilization and tool forging in metals – both of bronze and iron – grew up together.

And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. Gen 4:22

Brass is a copper alloy, just as bronze is. What the translators of the Hebrew in previous generations translated brass, is today translated bronze – the exact same Hebrew word. The accurate eyewitness history recorded in Genesis corrects the faulty history proposed by modern man, who rejected Genesis, not from evidence, but from an aversion to give credence to God.
