Genesis 4:16-22

The Voice

¹⁶ Then Cain went away from the Eternal’s presence and settled in the land of Nod, a place for wanderers, to the east of Eden. ¹⁷ Cain made love to his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Cain built a city there and named it Enoch after his son. ¹⁸ And this is how their family progressed: Enoch’s son was Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael. Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

¹⁹ Now Lamech married two wives, Adah and Zillah. ²⁰ Adah gave birth to Jabal. His descendants are those who make their homes in tents and keep livestock. ²¹ Jabal’s brother’s name was Jubal, and his descendants are musicians who play instruments such as the lyre and the pipe. ²² Zillah, Lamech’s other wife, gave birth to Tubal-cain. Now he was a bronze- and ironsmith, and his sister was Naamah.
