13. Cain said to Adonai, “My iniquity is too great to bear!
14. Since You expelled me today from the face of the ground and I must be hidden from Your presence, then I will be a restless wanderer on the earth—anyone who finds me will kill me!”
15. But Adonai said to him, “In that case, anyone who kills Cain is to be avenged seven times over.” So Adonai put a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him would not strike him down.
16. Then Cain left Adonai’s presence and dwelled in the Land of Wandering, east of Eden.
17. Cain was intimate with his wife and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. And he was building a city, and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
18. And to Enoch was born Irad. Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech.
19. Now Lamech took for himself two wives. The name of the first one was Adah, and the name of the second one was Zillah.
20. Adah gave birth to Jabal—he was the pioneer of tent dwellers with livestock.
21. His brother’s name was Jubal—he was the pioneer of all who skillfully handle stringed instruments and wind instruments.
22. Now Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain, the forger of every kind of bronze and iron tools; Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23. Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah: Hear my voice! Lamech’s wives: Listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, and a boy for bruising me.
24. If Cain is to be avenged seven times, then Lamech—77 times!”
25. Adam was intimate with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and she named him Seth, “For God has appointed me another seed in place of Abel—since Cain killed him.”
26. To Seth, also was born a son. He named him Enosh. Then people began to call on Adonai’s Name.
