4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 4:16. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 4:19. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle. 4:21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah. 4:23. And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

The name of one of them is Ada and the name of the second one is Sella. 4:20 And Ada, she begat Iobel. This is the father of those who dwell in tents of the cattle-feeders. 4:21 And the name of his brother is Iobal. this is the one that made Harp and Kithara 4:22 And Cella also, she gave birth to Thobel and he was the thrower of the hammer, a smith of brass and iron. And the sister of Thobel was Noema. 4:23 And said Lamech to his wives, Ada and Sella, "Hear my voice O the wives of Lamech and listen to my words: for a man, I killed him for a wound for me and a youth for a bruise for me.
