Genesis 4:13-22 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

13. Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14. Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

15. The Lord said to him, “Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” the Lord appointed a sign for Cain, so that anyone finding him would not strike him.

16. Cain left the Lord’s presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17. Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

18. To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.

19. Lamech took 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, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

21. His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.

22. Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
