And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son\u2014Enoch. To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.<\/p>\n<p>Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother\u2019s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.<\/p>\n<p>Then Lamech said to his wives:<br \/>\n\u201cAdah and Zillah, hear my voice;<br \/>\nWives of Lamech, listen to my speech!<br \/>\nFor I have killed a man for wounding me,<br \/>\nEven a young man for hurting me.<br \/>\nIf Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,<br \/>\nThen Lamech seventy-sevenfold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, \u201cFor God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.\u201d And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh.
