In the verse Genesis 4:17, both "know" and "knew" are used, but in different contexts:
1. "And Cain knew his wife": Here, "knew" is used in a biblical sense to refer to sexual relations or marital intimacy.
2. "And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived": Again, "knew" is used to indicate sexual relations, leading to conception.
In both instances, the usage of "knew" emphasizes the act of sexual union between Cain and his wife, resulting in the conception of their child.
