19And LamechH3929 tookH3947 unto him twoH8147 wivesH802: the nameH8034 of the one was AdahH5711, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 ZillahH6741.

20And AdahH5711 bare JabalH2989: he was the fatherH1 of suchH1931 as dwellH3427 in tentsH168 and have cattleH4735.

21And his brother’sH251 nameH8034 was JubalH3106: he was the fatherH1 of allH3605 suchH1931 as handleH8610 the harpH3658 and pipeH5748.

22And ZillahH6741, sheH1931 also bare Tubal-cainH8423, the forgerH3913 of everyH3605 cutting instrument of brassH5178 and ironH1270: and the sisterH269 of Tubal-cainH8423 was NaamahH5279.

23And LamechH3929 saidH559 unto his wivesH802: AdahH5711 and ZillahH6741, hearH8085 my voiceH6963; Ye wivesH802 of LamechH3929, hearken unto my speech: For I have slainH2026 a manH376 for woundingH6482 meH6963, And a youngH3206 manH376 for bruising meH6963:

24IfH3588 CainH7014 shall be avengedH5358 sevenfoldH7659, TrulyH3588 LamechH3929 seventyH7657 and sevenfoldH7659.

25And AdamH121 knewH3045 his wifeH802 againH5750; and sheH3588 bare a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 SethH8352: For, said sheH3588, GodH430 hath appointedH7896 meH7121 anotherH312 seedH2233 insteadH8478 of AbelH1893; for CainH7014 slewH2026 him.
