What was Cain's punishment for killing Abel his brother?   Reply to Submit Answers Genesis 4:17-26 (NLT) Cain had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain founded a city, which he named Enoch, after his son. Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech. Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the first of those who raise livestock and live in tents.  **** Interjection *** Genealogy is super important, but can be quite boring to read.  Just wait until we get to numbers! Ha!  Remember the Bible is true stories that tell us God's love for us from Creation to the very end of times (until this world is destroyed).  And so, genealogy, as boring as it is, gives us concrete evidence that what the writers of the Bible are telling us are true.  Mose's wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, also called the Pentateuch.  These were true stories, about our ancestors, that were passed down from generations down to Moses (We will get to Moses soon).   His brother’s name was Jubal, the first of all who play the harp and flute. Lamech’s other wife, Zillah, gave birth to a son named Tubal-cain. He became an expert in forging tools of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain had a sister named Naamah. 23One day Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; listen to me, you wives of Lamech. I have killed a man who attacked me, a young man who wounded me. 24If someone who kills Cain is punished seven times, then the one who kills me will be punished seventy-seven times!” **** Interjection *** As you can see the line of Cain was a wicked generation.  Lamech takes two wives and becomes a murderer.  We will also see with genealogy how sin is passed down from parent to child.  However, it's ultimately the choice of each individual of the path they take towards God or away from God.  Deuteronomy 24:16 says, "Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin."  But we see with genealogy in the Bible that many take the paths of their parents, making parenting such a great responsibility that God gives us for our children.   The Birth of Seth 25Adam had sexual relations with his wife again, and she gave birth to another son. She named him Seth,g for she said, “God has granted me another son in place of Abel, whom Cain killed.” 26When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the LORD by name. **** Interjection ***  So Adam and Eve have another son named Seth.  Again, genealogy being important, we will see that Noah (who all people come from today) is from the line of Seth.  This is the first place we see God called "Lord" Genesis 5 will be more genealogy but I will try to brush through it and not bore you too much :) I'm hoping to quickly get to Noah. I will answer on the next lesson. SUBSCRIBE TO THESE LESSONS My pastor at Commissioned Church will be my accountability.
