If they were the first people and they gave birth to the first generation where did the other people come from that were far away?
In the old testament the jews were told by God not to marry outside the jewish race,the bible does not give us a timeline from Adam and Eve being cast out of the garden,. to the first marriage

Remember that according to The Bible, Jews came long after Gentiles.
Abraham was born 10 generations after the flood, when God blessed, and made a covenant with the Gentiles.
He was blessed by a priest, who was not Jewish.
And, the priest was not descended from Adam
Hebrews - Chapter 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT DESCENT, HAVING NEITHER BEGINING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
