23. ULameka wathi kubo abafazi bakhe:“Ada noSila, yizwani izwi lami;nina bafazi bakaLameka,lalelani ukusho kwami:Bhekani, ngibulala umuntungenxeba engilitholayo,nensizwa ngomvimbo engiwuzwiswayo.
24. Yebo, uKayini uyakuphindiselwa kasikhombisa,kepha uLameka kamashumi ayisikhombisa,aphindwe kasikhombisa.”
25. U-Adamu wabuye wamazi umkakhe; wazala indodana, wamqamba igama lokuthi uSeti, ethi: “UNkulunkulu ungibekele enye inzalo esikhundleni sika-Abela, njengokuba uKayini umbulele.”
26. Naye uSeti wazala indodana, wayiqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Enoshe. Ngaleso sikhathi abantu baqala ukukhuleka egameni likaJehova.
