Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.

Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah,
Listen to my voice,
You wives of Lamech,
Give heed to my speech,
For I have killed a man for wounding me;
And a boy for striking me;

If Cain is avenged sevenfold,
Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.

Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son.

Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

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

Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,
