Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.

¹⁷

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son—Enoch.

¹⁸

To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.

¹⁹

Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.

²⁰

And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

²¹

His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.

²²

And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

²³

Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me.

²⁴

If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

²⁵

And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”

²⁶

And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the Lord.
