A lot of the early books come from a time before the church decided to make Abrahamic religions monotheistic. YHWH was once the Hebrew god of war; a god within a pantheon of others. In that context, it makes sense that the other gods would have been doing their own thing. Another good example is GEN 3:22.

Don't know wasn't there but Genesis 4 definitly speaks about other people because Cain has a wife and his sons married some women who were not mentioned before.
