Genesis 4:23-25
International Standard Version
23 Lamech told his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to what I have to say:
You wives of Lamech, hear what I’m announcing!
I’ve killed a man for wounding me,
a young man for bruising me.
24 For if Cain is being avenged seven times,
then Lamech will be avenged[a] 77 times.”
25 Later on, after Adam had sexual relations with[b] his wife, she gave birth to a son and named him[c] Seth, because
“God granted[d] me another offspring to replace Abel,
since Cain murdered him.”
