Cain had marital relations with his wife,and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch.Cain was building a city,and he named the city after his son Enoch.To Enoch was born Irad,and Iran was the father of Mehujael.Mehujael was the father of Methushael,and Methushael was the father of Lamech,

Lamech took two wives of himself;the name of the first was Adah,and the name of the second was Zillah.Adah gave birth to Jabal;he was the first of those who live in tents and keep livestock.The name of his brother was Jubal;he was the first of all who play the harp and the flute.Now Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain,who heated metal and shaped all kinds of tools made of bronze and iron.The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

Lamech said to his wives,"Adah and Zillah!Listen to me!You wives of Lamech,hear my words!I have killed a man of wounding me,a young man for hurting me.If Cain is to be avenged seven times as much,then Lamech seventy-sevent times."

And Adam had marital relations with his wife again,and she gave birth to a son.She named him Seth,saying,"God has given me another child in place of Abel because Cain killed him."And a son was also born to Seth,whom he named Enosh.At the time people began to worship the LORD.
