Genesis 4:22

Context
4:22 Now Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain, who heated metal and shaped 1  all kinds of tools made of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

1 tn The traditional rendering here, “who forged” (or “a forger of”) is now more commonly associated with counterfeit or fraud (e.g., “forged copies” or “forged checks”) than with the forging of metal. The phrase “heated metal and shaped [it]” has been used in the translation instead.
