Episode 2 | The Woman God Didn’t Bother to Name | Cain’s Wife, Erasure, and the Cost of Silence in Genesis
In the story of Cain and Abel, we’re taught to focus on the first murder—but almost no one talks about the woman who comes after. In this episode, we look at Cain’s unnamed wife, what the text actually says about her, and what it means that the Bible gives a murderer a name, a voice, and protection—while the woman who carries the future is erased. This is a story about silence, power, and the cost of not being seen.
