Genesis 4:23 ¶ Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; You wives of Lamech, Listen to what I say; For I have killed a man [merely] for wounding me, And a boy [only] for striking (bruising) me. |
Bible Question: Why is this speech placed here?? Did Lamech slay Cain - accidentally? I think I've got hundreds of questions coming here, one by one.. |
Bible Answer: Scandinavian Disciple, greetings. Lamech didn't have anyone killed. He killed two people for just hurting him. Refer to verse 15 for both of these. 1. Verse 24 says there was an increase in the avegenging factor compared to Cain. 2. But, I don't believe either were Cain.
