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.
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.
Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.
Adah gave birth to 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.
As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
I always just LOVE the begats! I am kidding, I haven't met anybody who loves the begats. There must be importance to them or they wouldn't be in there. I still find it funny that folks are still noted by their job.
I also see that it didn't take long for men to begin to take more than one wife. There is no statement about it from the scripture other than that it happened. Interesting.
The big question that most people have about now is: "Where did Cain's wife and all of these people come from?" I would love to spend time spewing out the answer to that question. Can't. Sorry! I just have to say that somehow there were wives and sometime God might reveal how that was. Until then, just putting that on a shelf, and moving on learning more about my Lord!
That is all the commentary.
Have a blessed day!
