      A lot of the early books come from a time before the church decided to make Abrahamic religions monotheistic. YHWH was once the Hebrew god of war; a god within a pantheon of others. In that context, it makes sense that the other gods would have been doing their own thing. Another good example is GEN 3:22.

      Don’t know wasn’t there but Genesis 4 definitly speaks about other people because Cain has a wife and his sons married some women who were not mentioned before.

        Adam wasn’t gods first man. It says God created man then the next chapter is the creation of Adam.

      It isn’t explained. They were there when Adam and Eve were expelled. Which means they were kinda like an experiment for God.

      But God is all-knowing, he basically set a trap on them knowing the outcome. He knew he was going to punish humanity even before he created the universe.

      The fuck did they come from?

      The land of Nod, east of Eden. I’m not making it up, it’s in there. Quite the plot twist.
