Genesis 4:17-26 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.

18. And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:

19. Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was Sella.

20. And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.

21. And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.

22. Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.

23. And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sell: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.

24. Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.

25. Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.

26. But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.
