Context
21Kaka yake aliitwa Yubali, aliyekuwa baba wa wote wapigao zeze na filimbi. 22Pia Sila alikuwa na mtoto wa kiume aliyeitwa Tubali-Kaini ambaye alifua vifaa vya aina mbalimbali vya shaba na chuma. Naama alikuwa dada wa Tubali-Kaini. 23Lameki akawaambia wake zake,
“Ada na Sila nisikilizeni mimi;
wake wa Lameki sikieni maneno yangu.
Nimemuua mtu kwa kunijeruhi,
kijana mdogo kwa kuniumiza. 24Kama Kaini atalipizwa kisasi mara saba,
basi Lameki itakuwa mara sabini na saba.” 25Adamu akakutana kimwili na mke wake tena, akamzaa mwana, akamwita Sethi, akisema, “Mungu amenijalia mwana mwingine badala ya Abeli, kwa kuwa Kaini alimuua.”
