Genesis 4:19

4:19 Lamech took two wives for himself; the name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.

Genesis 4:23

4:23 Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah! Listen to me!

You wives of Lamech, hear my words!

I have killed a man for wounding me,

a young man for hurting me.


tn The Hebrew term יֶלֶד (yeled) probably refers to a youthful warrior here, not a child.
