13  And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is too great to be borne. 14  Behold, thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground, and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a wanderer and fugitive on the earth; and it will come to pass, that every one who finds me will slay me. 15  And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever slayeth Cain, it shall be revenged sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.

16  And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, toward the east of Eden. 17  And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city; and he called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch. 18  And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

19  And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah. 20  And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and breed cattle. 21  And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe. 22  And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of tool of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

23  And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice, Ye wives of Lemech, listen to my speech. For I have slain a man for my wound, and a youth for my bruise. 24  If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.

25  And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: …For God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because Cain has slain him. 26  And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then people began to call on the name of Jehovah.
