Genesis 4:16–24

¹⁶Then Cain went out from the presence ^aof Yahweh and ¹settled in the land of ²Nod, east of Eden.

¹⁷Then Cain ¹knew his wife, and she conceived and ²gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

¹⁸Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad ¹was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael ²was the father of Methushael, and Methushael ³was the father of Lamech.

¹⁹And Lamech took for himself ^atwo wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.

²⁰And Adah ¹gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock.

²¹And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

²²As for Zillah, she also ¹gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

²³And Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah,

Hear my voice,

You wives of Lamech,

Give ear to my word,

^aFor I ¹have killed a man for ²striking me;

And a boy for wounding me;

²⁴If Cain is avenged ^asevenfold,

Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
