Genesis 4:14-26
-
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
-
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
-
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
-
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
-
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
-
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
-
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
-
21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
-
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
-
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
-
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
-
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
-
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
