. Early in human history, marrying one's relatives was not uncommon. The faithful man Abraham, for example, married his half-sister. (Genesis 20:12) The first prohibitions against such marriage appeared in the Mosaic Law, which was codified centuries after Cain's day. (Leviticus 18:9, 12, 13) It seems that children born to close relatives back then were not as prone to birth defects as they are today.
. The Bible presents the account of Adam and Eve, and their family as accurate history. Detailed genealogies going back to Adam can be found not in the book of Genesis, written by Moses, but also in the writings of the historians Ezra and Luke. (Genesis 5:3-5; 1 Chronicles 1:1-4; Luke 3:38) Bible writers cite the story of Cain as a historical event. - HEBREWS 11:4; 1 JOHN 3:12; JUDE 11.
