GEN 4:20–24, engwebp
²⁰Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
²¹His brother’s name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.
²²Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.
²³Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.
²⁴If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times.”

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
