21: And his brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who handle the harp and organ.

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 for my wounding, and a young man for my hurt.

24: If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.”

25: And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son and called his name Seth. “For God,” said she, “hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.”

Again, within the final verses of Genesis 4, we continue learning about Adam and Eve’s descendants. A wonderful news arrived in where Adam and Eve bore another child called Seth. We are foreseeing at least 5 generations below from the land of Nod, the city of Enoch. Also, it came to our attention the different trades chosen by the lineages, signifying a chosen profession is noble. Yet to our surprise Lamach, Methushael’s child had transgressed in self-defense and slayed two men from a fight.
The following verses are as follows.

21: And Jabal’s brother Jubal (Meaning: River)
And Jubal was the great teacher of the arts.

22: Zillah (Protection from the shadows), also gave birth to
a son: Tubalcain (Meaning: Smiths)
a daughter: Naamah (Meaning: Pleasant)
And Tubalcain was a master and teacher of black smithing.   

23: Lamech (Mountain) confessed to his two wives.
I had rid a man and another younger man whom attacked and injured me.

24: If Cain (Adam and Eve’s Offspring), were given pardon from revenge. So will such be to Lamech (Mountain), 77 times.

25: While the descendants are, Adam and Eve bore another child
called Seth (Meaning: Appointed). Such birth gave glee upon Adam and Eve. Them knowing a lost son Abel.

26: Seth too found a wife and gave birth to a son Enosh (Meaning: Man).
And Enosh preached the word of the Lord.
