New Testament

Genesis 4:15-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. So the Lord said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And the Lord appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.

16. Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17. Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

18. Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

19. Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the 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.
