Bible Question: I am starting to study the Bible.In Genesis 4:17-18 and 5:17-26,we read about Seth s and Cain s descendants.But I have a doubt,is Lamec a descendant from Seth or Cain? because his name(and the name of his father Metusael)appears in both lines of descendants.Thank you for your help.Be blessed. |
Bible Answer: 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. |
