Genesis 4:16–24

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

¹⁷Cain ¹had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave 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 ¹became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

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

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

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

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

²³Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah,

Listen to my voice,

You wives of Lamech,

Give heed to my speech,

^aFor I ¹have killed a man for wounding me;

And a boy for striking me;

²⁴If Cain is avenged ^asevenfold,

Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
