19. Lamech took two wives; the name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
20. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who became the ancestor of those who dwell in tents and keep livestock.
21. His brother’s name was Jubal, who became the ancestor of all who play the lyre and the reed pipe.
22. Zillah, on her part, gave birth to Tubalcain, the ancestor of all who forge instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23. Lamech said to his wives:“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;wives of Lamech, listen to my utterance:I have killed a man for wounding me,a young man for bruising me.
24. If Cain is avenged seven times,then Lamech seventy-seven times.”
25. Adam again had intercourse with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she called Seth. “God has granted me another offspring in place of Abel,” she said, “because Cain killed him.”
26. To Seth, in turn, a son was born, and he named him Enosh.At that time people began to invoke the Lord by name.
