Genesis 4 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 16. |
Cain went out from Yahweh's presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. |
| 17. |
Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. |
| 18. |
To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. |
| 19. |
Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. |
| 20. |
Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. |
| 21. |
His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe. |
| 22. |
Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah. |
| 23. |
Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me. |
| 24. |
If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times." |
| 25. |
Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, "for God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him." |
| 26. |
There was also born a son to Seth, and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on Yahweh's name. |
