14. You are driving me off the land and away from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth, and anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15. But the Lord answered, “No. If anyone kills you, seven lives will be taken in revenge.” So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who met him not to kill him.
16. And Cain went away from the Lord's presence and lived in a land called “Wandering”, which is east of Eden.
17. Cain and his wife had a son and named him Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son.
18. Enoch had a son named Irad, who was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael had a son named Methushael, who was the father of Lamech.
19. Lamech had two wives, Adah and Zillah.
20. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the ancestor of those who raise livestock and live in tents.
21. His brother was Jubal, the ancestor of all musicians who play the harp and the flute.
22. Zillah gave birth to Tubal Cain, who made all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal Cain was Naamah.
23. Lamech said to his wives,“Adah and Zillah, listen to me: I have killed a young man because he struck me.
24. If seven lives are taken to pay for killing Cain,77 will be taken if anyone kills me.”
