According to the Book of Genesis who was the son of Cain and the grandson of Adam?

According to the Book of Genesis, Enoch (/ˈiːnək/; Hebrew: חֲנוֹך‎ Ḥanōḵ) was a son of Cain, grandson of Adam, and father of Irad. After Cain arrived in the Land of Nod, to which he was evicted by the Lord as his punishment for murdering his brother Abel, his wife became pregnant and bore Cain's first child, whom he named Enoch.

After the birth of Enoch, the Hebrew text of Genesis 4:17 is unclear. Either Cain built a city and named it after Enoch, or else Enoch built a city. According to Jubilees 4:9, Enoch's mother/aunt was named Awan.

This Enoch is not to be confused with Noah's ancestor Enoch.

my understanding is, that - after Cain killed Abel, - he was banished to the Land of Nod, - east of Eden, - where he married a woman! What I DON'T understand, is, - WHERE THE HELL THAT WOMAN CAME FROM!

Cain was sent to Nod because he was a Noddy boy.

To make any sense of the book of Genesis(or indeed anything in the Bible) one has to do a lot of inferring and yet religious people will respond to any questions asked of them(if they can't adequately answer it) with " As it is written ". I would think that a being as great as a God ,when putting down words, would never have to be inferred. Wouldn't that actually be demeaning of the God ? So the bible as written by mear men and who rarely actually were present to observe events, made errors in their story telling, so inferring is necessary.
