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.

And Lamech took for 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,
Hear my voice;
You wives of Lamech,
Listen to what I say;
For I have killed a man [merely] for wounding me,
And a boy [only] for striking (bruising) me.

“If Cain is avenged sevenfold [as the Lord said he would be],
Then Lamech [will be avenged] seventy-sevenfold.”

When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.

Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after the birth of Lamech and had other sons and daughters.

When Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old, he became the father of a son.

Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after the birth of Noah and had other sons and daughters.

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

Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,

the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
