And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

Lamech said to his wives:

• “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
• you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say:
• I have killed a man for wounding me,
• a young man for striking me.
• If Cain's revenge is sevenfold,
• then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold.”
