Genesis 4:16-26 (Complete Jewish Bible)
16
So Kayin left the presence of ADONAI and lived in the land of Nod [wandering], east of 'Eden.
17
Kayin had sexual relations with his wife; she conceived and gave birth to Hanokh. Kayin built a city and named the city after his son Hanokh.
18
To Hanokh was born 'Irad. 'Irad fathered Mechuya'el, Mechuya'el fathered Metusha'el, and Metusha'el fathered Lemekh.
19
Lemekh took himself two wives; the name of the one was 'Adah, while the name of the other was Tzilah.
20
'Adah gave birth to Yaval; he was the ancestor of those who live in tents and have cattle.
21
His brother's name was Yuval; and he was the ancestor of all who play lyre and flute.
22
Tzilah gave birth to Tuval-Kayin, who forged all kinds of tools from brass and iron; the sister of Tuval-Kayin was Na'amah.
23
Lemekh said to his wives, "'Adah and Tzilah, listen to me; wives of Lemekh, hear what I say: I killed a man for wounding me, a young man who injured me.
24
If Kayin will be avenged sevenfold, then Lemekh seventy-sevenfold!"
25
Adam again had sexual relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Shet [granted], "For God has granted me another seed in place of Hevel, since Kayin killed him."
26
To Shet too was born a son, whom he called Enosh. That is when people began to call on the name of ADONAI.
