Gen.5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.
...That the man 'Adam' begat 'sons' which is the word 'ben' in the Hebrew, meaning 'son or grandson, great-grandson, etc.', and he also begat 'daughters' after Seth. There have been many arguments over these other 'sons' and 'daughters' of the man 'Adam' (eth' Ha' adham) being those who populated the 'land of Nod', and from whom Cain also took his wife. If our Heavenly Father had given us the blood lineage in years of Cain's posterity in Gen.4, as we have for 'Adam' in Genesis 5, or the bloodline heritage of Cain's wife, then this riddle would easily be solved. It's almost like God purposefully left out a piece of the puzzle for some reason..., for this is like tripping over a step (remember the big step between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2?). That's exactly the reason for this puzzle of Cain's wife. God is trying to get us to think and observe at this point. Did you notice that Cain, who we all assume was the first son of the man 'Adam' (eth' Ha' adham), is not listed in 'THE BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM' there in Gen.5? Well, we have Cain's lineage at the end of Gen.4, but it's separate from Adam's (eth'Ha'adham) in Gen.5. Wonder why? Hold that thought, we're going to get to the bottom of this soon. Abel is not listed in Gen.5 because he was 'murdered' by Cain, and didn't have a chance for offspring .
(See Gen.3:10 about 'thy brother's blood').
