How Many Sons Did Adam And Eve Have?
- Adam and Eve according to Scripture had 3 named sons- Cain, Abel and Seth.
- This is according to Genesis 4:1-2, and Genesis 4:24.
- But Adam also had other sons and daughters according to Genesis 5:4.
- Some say he had 33 sons and 22 daughters, but this is not found or corroborated in scripture
- And besides saying that Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 22 daughters, some say that Eve eventually bore 20 sets of twins, and Adam had 40,000 offspring before he died but these numbers are nowhere mentioned or supported in Scripture. We only know that Adam had other sons and daughters other than Cain, Abel and Seth.
- Using the Bible we can show a minimum of 7 children (ie. other sons means at least 2 more sons and other daughters would mean at least two daughters.)
