Genesis 4:17-26

Genesis 4:17-26
Lamech is the first recorded case if bigamy he had two wives named Adah and Zillah. Adah's son Jabal was first nomadic herdsman. Adah's son Jubal was the first musician. Zillah's son Tubal-cain was the first metal working including brass and iron.

Tubal-cain sister Naamah is one of only four woman from before the Flood mentioned by name. She most likely married one of male descendants of Seth one possibility Ham. This is consistent with mitochondrial data which shows that Mrs. Shem and Mrs. Japheth were more closely related to each other than they
were to Mrs. Ham.
