And there was born to Enoch Irad, and, Irad, begat Mehujael, - and Mehujael, begat Methusael, - and Methusael, begat Lamech.

And Lamech took to himself two wives, - the name of the one, was Adah, and, the name of the second Zillah.

Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale, For a man, have I slain in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows:

If, sevenfold, be, the avenging of Cain, Then, of Lamech, seventy and seven.

And Methuselah lived, a hundred and eighty-seven years, - and begat Lamech;

and Methuselah lived, after he begat Lamech, seven hundred and eighty-two years, - and begat sons and daughters;

And Lamech lived, a hundred and eighty-two years, - and begat a son;

And Lamech lived, after he begat Noah, five hundred and ninety-five years, - and begat sons and daughters;

and all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, - and he died.
