Mke wa kaini alikuwa nani?
Swali: "Mke wa kaini alikuwa nani?"
Jibu: Biblia haielezi kwa kina juu ya mke wa kaini kama alikuwa nani. Jibu linalotarajiwa ni kwamba mke wa kaini alikuwa dadake. Biblia haielezi umri wa Kaini wakati alipomuua ndugu yake Habili (Mwanzo 4:8). Kwa kuwa wote walikuwa wakulima, lazima wawe walikuwa watu wazima, hata pengine na jamii zao. Adam na Hawa walikuwa wamepata watoto wengine mbali na Kaini na Habili wakati Habili alipouawa. Walipata wengi wengine baadaye (mwanzo 5:4). Ile hali ya Kaini kuhofu sana juu ya usalama wake baada ya kumuua Habili (mwanzo 4:14) inathibitisha kulikuwako na watoto wengi wengine pia na wajukuu na hata vilembwe wa Adamu na Hawa.
Kwa kuwa Adamu na Hawa walikuwa wanadamu wa kwanza duniani, watoto wao hawakuwa na lengine ila kuoana. Mungu hakukataza kuoana kwa jinsi hii mapema mpaka dunia ilipokuwa na watu wakutisha ndipo akakataza aina hii ya kuoana
(mambo ya walawi 18:6-18
6“Mtu yeyote wa Israeli haruhusiwi kumkaribia mtu wa jamaa yake wa karibu ili kulala naye. Mimi ndimi Mwenyezi-Mungu. 7Kamwe usimvunjie heshima baba yako kwa kulala na mama yako aliyekuzaa. Usimwaibishe; yeye ni mama yako. 8Kamwe usimvunjie heshima baba yako kwa kulala na mmoja wa wake zake. Hao ni mama zako.9Kamwe usilale na dada yako, awe ni dada yako halisi au dada yako wa kambo. 10Kamwe usilale na mjukuu wako, mtoto wa mwanao au binti yako; maana sehemu zao za siri ni kama zako mwenyewe. 11Kamwe usilale na msichana aliyezaliwa na mama yako wa kambo aliyeolewa na baba yako; msichana huyo ni dada yako. 12Kamwe usilale na shangazi yako; kwani huyo ni dada wa baba yako. 13Kamwe usilale na dada wa mama yako; kwani huyo ni mama yako mkubwa au mdogo.14Kamwe usilale na mke wa baba yako mkubwa au mdogo; huyo ni mama yako. 15Kamwe usilale na mke wa mwanao; huyo ni mkewe mwanao. Kamwe usilale naye. 16Kamwe usilale na mke wa ndugu yako; huyo ni shemeji yako. 17Ukilala na mwanamke, basi, kamwe usilale naye na binti yake, wala wajukuu zake. Hao ni ndugu. Kuwachanganya ni kufanya uovu. 18Kamwe usimwoe dada wa mkeo wakati mke wako yungali hai; hiyo itasababisha ushindani.).
Sababu ya madhara ya ndoa za kaka na dada ni kwamba kama kila mmoja wao alikuwa na hali Fulani ya kilema ndani yaoya kurithi basi atakayezaliwa atakuwa mwenye kurithi kutoka kwa wote wazazi wawili, hivyo basi kuwa hali mbaya zaidi kuliko waliomzaa. Kadri dunia inavyoendelea, vilema hivi vinaendelea kuzidi. Lakini Adamu na Hawa hawakuwa na kilema chochote ndani yao na ika sababisha jamii zao kuwa na afya njema sana kuliko yetu hivi sasa. Haifurahishi kuona ya kwamba mke wa Kaini alikuwa dadake. Kwa kuwa Mungu alianza na mke mmoja na mme mmoja, waliofuata hawakuwa na lengine ila kuoa dada zao.
Who was Cain’s wife?
Question: "Who was Cain’s wife? Was Cain’s wife his sister?"
Answer: The Bible does not specifically say who Cain’s wife was. The only possible answer is that Cain’s wife was his sister or niece or great-niece, etc. The Bible does not say how old Cain was when he killed Abel (Genesis 4:8). Since they were both farmers, they were likely both full-grown adults, possibly with families of their own. Adam and Eve surely had given birth to more children than just Cain and Abel at the time Abel was killed. They definitely had many more children later (Genesis 5:4). The fact that Cain was scared for his own life after he killed Abel (Genesis 4:14) indicates that there were likely many other children and perhaps even grandchildren of Adam and Eve already living at that time. Cain’s wife (Genesis 4:17) was a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve.
Since Adam and Eve were the first (and only) human beings, their children would have no other choice than to intermarry. God did not forbid inter-family marriage until much later when there were enough people to make intermarriage unnecessary (Leviticus 18:6-18). The reason that incest today often results in genetic abnormalities is that when two people of similar genetics (i.e., a brother and sister) have children together, there is a high risk of their recessive characteristics becoming dominant. When people from different families have children, it is highly unlikely that both parents will carry the same recessive traits. The human genetic code has become increasingly “polluted” over the centuries as genetic defects are multiplied, amplified, and passed down from generation to generation. Adam and Eve did not have any genetic defects, and that enabled them and the first few generations of their descendants to have a far greater quality of health than we do now. Adam and Eve’s children had few, if any, genetic defects. As a result, it was safe for them to intermarry.
