Genesis 4:17

[Now follows a genealogy of Cain in seven generations.]
And Cain knew his wife [had sexual intercourse with her], and she conceived.
Yes, she gave birth to Enoch (Hebr. Chanoch) [meaning: consecrated/dedicated] and he [Enoch] became a city builder.
And the city was named after his son: Enoch. [Gen. 5:18; 25:4; 46:9]
