Questions addressed in this Lightning Round:
Where did Cain get his wife? What is the background of her ancestry?
Can you put some perspective to the old, old age of the humans referenced in Genesis ... 900+ yrs?!?
Who wrote the book of Joshua? Who wrote First Chronicles?
Why weren't the children of Israel born in the wilderness circumcised during the wilderness experience? Why wait until after getting to Gilgal?

Additionally, the following links are referenced in the podcast:
