17And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare †Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat †Lamech. 19And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 21And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 22And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an †instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 23And Lamech said unto his wives,

Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice;

Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:

For ||I have slain a man to my iwounding,

And a young man ||to my hurt.

24kIf Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,

Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name †Seth: For God, lsaid she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name †Enos: then began men ||to call upon the name of the Lord.
