Genesis 4:18-26 Amplified Bible (AMP)

18. To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael the father of Methusael, and Methusael the father of Lamech.

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

20. Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle and purchase possessions.

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

22. Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all [cutting] instruments of bronze and iron. 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; for I have slain a man [merely] for wounding me, and a young man [only] for striking and bruising me.

24. If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech [will be avenged] seventy-sevenfold.

25. And Adam's wife again became pregnant, and she bore a son and called his name Seth. For God, she said, has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him.

26. And to Seth also a son was born, whom he named Enosh. At that time men began to call [upon God] by the name of the Lord.
