Genesis 4:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 4:23

21 His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and¹ flute.

22 And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

23 Then Lamech said to his wives:
“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech!
For I have¹ killed a man for wounding me,
Even a young man¹ for hurting me.

24 ^aIf Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
