Genesis 4:19-25
19And Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
20Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock. 21And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
22And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23Then Lamech said to his wives:
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;wives of Lamech, listen to my speech.For I have slain a man for wounding me,a young man for striking me.24If Cain is avenged sevenfold,then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”1
25And Adam again had relations with his wife, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,2 saying, “God has granted me another seed in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”
