Genesis 4:20-26
New International Version
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments(A) and pipes.(B) 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged(C) all kinds of tools out of[a] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed(D) a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged(E) seven times,(F)
then Lamech seventy-seven times.(G)”
25 Adam made love to his wife(H) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[b](I) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(J) 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.(K)
At that time people began to call on[c] the name of the Lord.(L)
