¹⁷ And Cain lay with his wife, which conceived and bare Enoch. And he was building a city and called the name of it after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And Enoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mehujael. And Mehujael begat Methusael. And Methusael begat Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took him two wives: the one was called Adah, and the other Zillah. ²⁰ And Ada bare Jabal; of whom came they that dwell in tents and possess cattle. ²¹ And his brother's name was Jubal; of him came all that exercise themselves on the harp and on the organs. ²² And Zillah she also bare Tubalcain; a worker in metal and a father of all that grave in brass and iron. And Tubalcain's sister was called Naamah.

²³ Then said Lamech unto his wives Adah and Zillah, "Hear my voice ye wives of Lamech, and hearken unto my words, for I have slain a man and wounded myself, and have slain a young man, and got myself stripes. ²⁴ For Cain shall be avenged sevenfold: but Lamech seventy times sevenfold."

²⁵ Adam also lay with his wife yet again, and she bare a son and called his name Seth: "For God," said she, "hath given me another son for Abel whom Cain slew." ²⁶ And Seth begat a son and called his name Enos. And in that time began men to call on the name of the LORD.
