18 To
Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael,
and Methushael begot Lamech.
19 Then
Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of
the second was Zillah.
20 And
Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of
those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
21 His
brother’s name was Jubal. He was the
father of all those who play the harp and flute.
22 And
as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in
bronze and iron. And the sister of
Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
23 The
Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and
Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, listen to my speck! For I have killed a man for wounding me, even
a young man for hurting me.
24 If
Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
25 And
Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me
instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
26 And
as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the
Lord.
