Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was
Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the first of those who raise livestock
and live in tents. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal, the first of all who play the harp
and flute. 22 Lamech’s other wife, Zillah, gave birth to a son named Tubal-cain.
He became an expert in forging tools of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain had a sister
named Naamah. 23 One day Lamech said to his wives,
19
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
listen to me, you wives of Lamech.
I have killed a man who attacked me,
a young man who wounded me.
24 If someone who kills Cain is punished seven times,
then the one who kills me will be punished seventy-seven times!”
The Birth of Seth
25 Adam had sexual relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to another
son. She named him Seth, for she said, “God has granted me another son in
place of Abel, whom Cain killed.” 26 When Seth grew up, he had a son and named
him Enosh.
At that time
people first began to
worship the LORD by name.
The Descendants of Adam
This is the written account of the descendants of Adam. When God created
human beings, he made them to be like himself. 2 He created them male and
female, and he blessed them and called them “human.”

300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. 23 Enoch lived 365 years,
24 walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because
