Let’s look at Genesis 4:1-2 through the eyes of e-Sword and the Targum of Palestine.
From e-Sword.Gen 4:1And AdamH121knewH3045(H853)EveH2332his wife;H802and she conceived,H2029and bareH3205(H853)Cain,H7014and said,H559I have gottenH7069a manH376fromH854the LORD.H3068

(2)And she again[see H3254 below][toaddoraugment, proceed (further)] bare his brother Able[see H1893 below][Hebel].
I will not finish verse 2. What I wanted to reveal to the reader, I have completed.Notice the bible records Eve as an adulteress to her husband Adam. Ever heard that from the pulpit? There is a reason why.Hint: Therewassomeoneelsewho had sexual relations with her besides her husband Adam.Eve was carrying twins, both Cain and Able. Who was that other someone?

Here is what is recorded in the Targum of Palestine regarding the same scripture:And Adam knew Hava his wife, who had desired the Angel; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the Angel of the Lord. And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel.
Note that Eve or Hava conceived Kain through her desire for the Angle. Then she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel. So what did happen in Genesis 4? I know...what do you say happened?
