Genesis 4:19-26

New Revised Standard NRS

19 Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the ancestor of those who live in tents and have livestock.

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

22 Zillah bore Tubal-cain, who made all kinds of bronze and iron tools. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

23 Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

25 Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, because Cain killed him."

26 To Seth also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to invoke the name of the Lord.
