Bible Note: Dear John. Thank you for your welcome, and for drawing my attention to post # 26083, on which I would like to comment as follows. Both "Christianheart", who asked the question, and, "Jesusman" who answered it are both wrong in concluding that there was only one man called, "Lamech". It does not require an in depth examination of Scripture, a mere casual glance at the respective verses in their context, shows that Lamech's father was, "Methuselah", and that Lamech was the father of Noah, see below. Gen 5:25 Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. Gen 5:26 After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters. Gen 5:27 So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died. Gen 5:28 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. Gen 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed." Whereas at. Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son--Enoch. Gen 4:18 To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech. Gen 4:19 Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. Gen 4:20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. Gen 4:21 His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. Gen 4:22 And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. We are told that Lamech's father was, "Methushael", and that Lamach was not the father of Noah, therefore there must be at least two different men called Lamech, you will also note that at verse 17 above, Cain was the father of Enoch, who was the third from Adam, if you count Adam as the first, whereas at. Gen 5:19 After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. It was Jared who was the father of Enoch the seventh from Adam not the third, and therefore clearly not the same person. Jesusman who said, or could one say, "speculated", "it is reasonable to assume that both references are about the same person. "clearly did not do his, "homework", and therefore one is inclined to treat whatever else he had to say with some degree of suspicion. To be continued. parpar. |
