And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;

If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

And Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old when he became the father of Lamech:

And after the birth of Lamech, Methuselah went on living for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters:

And Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old when he had a son:

And after the birth of Noah, Lamech went on living for five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters:

And all the years of Lamech's life were seven hundred and seventy-seven: and he came to his end.
