The Father of Cain / The Father of Abel & Seth

 



In Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer we read this about Eve, the Serpent, and Sammael in the Garden:


Sammael is riding the serpent, and in turn, Sammael has relations with Eve, and she conceives.  At the same time, Adam has relations with Eve, and she conceives again.  Cain is not the offspring of Adam.  His father is Sammael, a divine being, as the text states:


Cain is half human and half divine.  We read this further down in the text, where there is a summary of Adam's reproductive activity:



Seth is born fully human, and therefore, capable of receiving the Torah, as divine human hybrids are neither fully in need of the Torah, or fully free of the body that needs the Torah as a halter.  The human race has two strains:



Are there still those who seek to see the Children of Cain in the light of day?  Are these those who search in secret?
