I tend to like these discussions and love reading everyone's views on this. Ill ask this question since it has been asked to me before and Im no scholar so ill see what yalls opinions are.
When cain killed able, who did he fear would kill him. In the bible he clearly references "the others." So the Lord placed a mark on him. If you go onto the next timeline of births it leads to some questions.
I had a person try and tell me one time kind of like it is being mentioned here. That their were other people and that adam and eve were the "first jews" created.
He could have just meant the others as in the rest of his family. When Abel was murdered, Cain could have been a hundred or two hundred years old. If he was a few hundred years old, that's a good amount of time for his siblings and kids to have a considerable amount of offspring. There's no other reference in the Bible that would hint at other humans being in existence that didn't come from Adam and Eve.
