AMPLIFIED 2015					Gen 4:24 "If Cain is avenged sevenfold [as the LORD said he would be], Then Lamech [will be avenged] ¹seventy-sevenfold."

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

Lamech arrogantly declares to his wives that if someone kills him, he will be entitled to far greater vengeance since he merely retaliated for harm suffered, while Cain's murder of Abel was by comparison unprovoked.
