Genesis 4:17–5:32

¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸And to Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael; and Mehujael begot Methushael; and Methushael begot Lemech.

¹⁹And Lemech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the second, Zillah. ²⁰And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and breed cattle. ²¹And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of those who handle the harp and pipe. ²²And 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.

²³And 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. ²⁴If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold; Lemech seventy and seven fold.

²⁵And 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. ²⁶And 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.

²¹And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methushelah. ²²And Enoch walked with God after he had begotten Methushelah three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. ²³And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. ²⁴And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

²⁵And Methushelah lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lemech. ²⁶And Methushelah lived after he had begotten Lemech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and begot sons and daughters. ²⁷And all the days of Methushelah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

²⁸And Lemech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and begot a son. ²⁹And he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us concerning our work and concerning the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed. ³⁰And Lemech lived after he had begotten Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and begot sons and daughters. ³¹And all the days of Lemech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died. ³²And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
