Genesis 4:19-26

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

19 Lamech took two wives for himself, one named Adah and the other named Zillah.

20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of the nomadic herdsmen.

21 His brother was named Jubal; he was the father of all who play the lyre and the flute.

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

23 Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, pay attention to my words. For I killed a man for wounding me, a boy for striking me.

24 If Cain is to be avenged seven times over, then for Lamech it will be seventy-seven times!

25 Adam knew his wife intimately again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for [she said,] "God has given me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him."

26 A son was born to Seth also, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.
