Genesis 4:19-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. Lamech took two wives. The name of one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20. Adah gave birth to Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

21. His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.

22. Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain, a forger of every tool of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

23. Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice,you wives of Lamech, and listen to my speech.For I have killed a man for wounding me,a young man who hurt me.

24. If Cain will be avenged sevenfold,then truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”

25. Adam had relations with his wife again, and she had another son and called his name Seth, for she said, “God has granted me another offspring instead of Abel because Cain killed him.”

26. To Seth also was born a son, and he called his name Enosh.At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord.
