God blessed Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:
Genesis 3:
Genesis 4:
After Cain murdered Abel, God declared Cain to be a fugitive. Cain responded in Genesis 4:
His close relatives.
Genesis 4:
Paul affirmed in Acts 17:
From the beginning, Adam and Eve will be fruitful in terms of children.28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number;
Genesis 3:
All humans will come from her. Some years later, Cain killed Abel.20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 4:
Genesis 5:25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
Cain and Abel were born before Year 130. Given that they were fruitful, it was likely that other children were born during this pre-Seth century as well.3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
After Cain murdered Abel, God declared Cain to be a fugitive. Cain responded in Genesis 4:
Who was Cain worried about?14 "Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
His close relatives.
Genesis 4:
Cain married one of the females born in the last one hundred years or so. She could be his sister, niece, or grandniece. Cain likely married his sister. In any case, Cain could not have married any of his cousins because they didn't exist. Cain didn't have any grandparents.16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch.
Paul affirmed in Acts 17:
26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place.
