Genesis 4:16-24

Genesis 4:16-24 NCV

So Cain went away from the LORD and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. He had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city, which he named after his son Enoch. Enoch had a son named Irad, Irad had a son named Mehujael, Mehujael had a son named Methushael, and Methushael had a son named Lamech. Lamech married two women, Adah and Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who became the first person to live in tents and raise cattle. Jabal’s brother was Jubal, the first person to play the harp and flute. Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who made tools out of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice! You wives of Lamech, listen to what I say. I killed a man for wounding me, a young man for hitting me. If Cain’s killer is punished seven times, then Lamech’s killer will be punished seventy-seven times.”
