Please note that this is the discussion for the Iranian name Irad and not the Jewish character by that name. Any discussion for the Hebrew Irad can be found here Talk:Irad (Torah). The Mummy (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No mother is given in the biblical text about Irad. Alephb (talk) 13:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But they got exiled to the Land of Nod and his father Enoch is the son of Awan & Cain which makes Awan the only woman around unless there were more kids. Jeffery Thomas 23:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Enoch is the son of Awan in the book of Jubilees. In the biblical account, no mother is mentioned. I don't think Irad's mate is mentioned at all in Jubilees. Assuming incest between Enoch and Awan would be a strange interpretation. After all, there's extra unnamed daughters all over the place in the biblical account (Genesis 5:4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 30; 6:2, 4; 11:11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25; 19:12, etc., etc.). Alephb (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So Cain and Awan had some daughters who could have been the aunt/mother to Irad? That is a better answer than I am finding anywhere else. Jeffery Thomas 21:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
One of the daughters of men. The creation of men and the creation of Adam are two different chapters in Genesis for a reason. Genesis 1 verse 26 though 31 describes the Sixth Day. "he created them male and female", then gives them instructions to be fruitful, multiply and fill the whole earth, as well as to eat of seeds and animals. Chapter two begins on the Seventh day. The Seventh day already happened before God made(or formed) Adam and placed him in the garden, and God created man, male and female, on the sixth day.
