1 | Is Lamec a descendant of Seth or Cain? | Genesis | Ric | 122 | ||
GE 4:24 If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times." GE 4:25 Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him." 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD. (NIV) ................... It look's like reading this passage that Lamech was born before Seth, so maybe Lamech is a descendant of Cain. |

2 | Could someone explain these descendances | Genesis | Christianheart | 126 | ||
Thank you Ric for answering my question.I have here the descendance as I read it in the Bible: Cain gave birth to Enoch ,who gave birth toIrad ,who gave birth to Mejuhael,who gave birth to Metusael,Who gave birth to Lamec. And on the other branch it says: Seth gave birth to Jared ,who gave birth to Enoch,who gave birth to Metusael,who gave birth to Lamec. I thank you for your time and I hope you can help me ,as I said in the first question,I am just beginning to read the bible.Thank you. |

I looked this up in my Bible dictionary, I don't think it will help you much, but give it a read. .................. LAMECH (Heb. lemekh, meaning undetermined). 1. A son of Methushael (Gen 4:18-24) and a descendant of Cain, who had two wives, Adah and Zillah. His sons founded the nomadic life and the musical arts, and invented metalcrafts and instruments of war. Lamech's song (4:23-24) expresses every feature of Hebrew poetry (alliteration, parallelism, poetic diction, etc.). 2. The son of Methuselah (5:28-31). This man, a descendant of Seth, became the father of Noah. His faith is attested by the name he gave his son, Noah (meaning "rest"), and by the hope of "comfort" (5:29) that he anticipated in his son's life. ................... I'm just a layperson without much Bible study (just Bible study at home and at church), but I'll keep trying to answer posts here - it help's me understand God's Word better too! | ||||||
