Was Cain in the Bible a Giant?
There is no mention in the Bible of Cain being a giant, and no reason to believe that he was. Cain was the first child born on earth to the original human pair, Adam and Eve. Following the birth of Cain, Eve said: “I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.” (Ge 4:1) Did she have in mind that she might be the foretold woman who would produce the seed by means of which deliverance would come? (Ge 3:15) If so, she was greatly mistaken. However, she could validly say that Cain was produced “with the aid of Jehovah” because God had not taken away the reproductive powers of sinful Adam and Eve and because, when passing judgment on her, God had said that she would “bring forth children,” though it would be with birth pangs.—Ge 3:16. Cain’s line ended with the global Flood of Noah’s day.
