16And CainH7014 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of Nod, toward the eastH6926 of EdenH5731.

17And CainH7014 knewH3045 his wifeH802, and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 EnochH2585. And he builtH1129 a cityH5892; and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 after the nameH8034 of his sonH1121 EnochH2585.

18And to EnochH2585 was bornH3205 IradH5897; and IradH5897 begot MehujaelH4232; and MehujaelH4232 begot MethushaelH4967; and MethushaelH4967 begot Lemech.
